Reid's Words

"I need donuts. Nana got some for me yesterday. No! I don't want to wear those jeans. I want spiderman jeans! Jett has spiderman jeans!"

Me: "Look at the back of these jeans. They kind of look like spiderman."

"No they don't. They're not red! I don't want to go to Walmart and buy them. I want to buy them at the mall. (Looking out the window). I need them acause (because) it's kinda dark outside daday (today)."

Melt My Heart

Lying in my bed with Reid and LilliAnn for nap time...nestled between two beautiful children...half-way asleep as I nurse LilliAnn...Reid's watching Curious George and starts to snuggle up against my back...I hear the sweetest voice in my ear...

"I wuv you mommy. You are the best."

I turn over and a little blonde-haired boy is fast asleep on the edge of my pillow.

Dinosaur Bones

A couple of weeks ago we went to the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History in Norman. Reid is really  into dinosaurs right now and couldn't wait to see real "dinosaur bones!" We had a nice little time at the museum, although Reid is still too young to understand a lot of the exhibits. He did, however, enjoy looking at the dinosaur bones and seeing the big mammoth at the center of the museum. He carried the map around and led the way stopping at each exhibit to say, "Wook at that!" "Hey guys, come here! Wook at that big dinosaur!" 
.....
.....
 Sissy was very interested in the dinosaur bones too!
.....
 "What's that dinosaur's name, mama?" "Is it t-rex? Or little foot?"
.....
 "hmmmm...I think we should go...THIS WAY!"
.....
This was supposed to be his "prize" after taking Valentine's pictures this day, but we had a meltdown at the studio and he was NOT having a photo shoot. I was disappointed that he wouldn't get in even one picture with his sister, but understanding that it was his nap time and that he's only two, we still went to see the dinosaur bones!  
.....
 Reid said, "Take a picture of that, mama! Wook at all those teeth!"
.....
 He found one of my cameras in LilliAnn's diaper bag and wanted to take pictures too!
.....
 Reid - The Photographer!

One of Reid's pictures...look how good he did!
.....
He's still needs a little more practice :)
.....
.....
 Cheese!
.....
 Sissy did not want to be held! She was all over the place!
.....
.....
.....
He thought this mammoth was pretty cool!
.....
.....
.....
More of Reid's pictures...
.....
I helped him with this one.

.....
I loved seeing what all he took pictures of, lol!

Love this!

This is the only "Valentine" picture I got of the two of them! When you have a 10 month-old and a 2 year-old, sometimes you've got to take what you can get!! We had a fun, little family day and Reid can't wait to go back and see more "dinosaur bones!"
