a perfect mission

The other day Reed told me that when he grows up he wants to go by himself on a mission to Disneyland. This was good news because the day before when I was telling him about the Resurrection he said, "umm, I don't want to do that."

a ride to work

Yesterday Reed was asking what class he would be in after Miss Karen's preschool class. The conversation escalated until I was telling him all the grades up to 12th grade. I then told him he would go to college. He asked me what he would do after college and I told him that he would work. He got a worried look on his face and said, "but will Daddy drive me to work?".

fussaling

Whenever Emme is "fussy", Reed will say, "Emme is fussaling, give her a binky." I think I now like the word fussaling better than just plain old fussy.

"Cozy"

Reed is into feeling "cozy". He loves wearing pajamas, flannel pants, sweat pants and sweat shirts, etc. Sometimes I have to bribe him in the morning to get dressed. The other day he insisted on wearing two hoodies and flannel pants all day long even though it was 87 degrees outside.

new rules

While driving in the car after church yesterday, Reed says to me, "On my birthday I am going to turn 4 and then when I turn 5 I will get baptized." I of course said, "You can get baptized when you turn 8." Reeds response was, "No, I don't like that, I'm getting baptized when I'm 5." I'm glad he's head strong, but come on now...

Too much truthfulness

Ben walked past me last night and said, "Hmm...your bum is getting bigger too." Thank you for the observation Ben...to bad 6 year olds don't lie.

Sweet Boy

Reed and I have been spending a lot of alone time together since Ben went back to school and Ted went back to work. I have had fun spending some one on one time with him, he has become very chatty and says sweet little things...I thought I should record some.

He puts sunglasses on and puts his face right into my tummy and says, "I can see baby sister smiling at me."

Yesterday he said in a wistful voice, "I can't wait to eat chicken nuggets with baby sister."

As we were leaving his preschool orientation he looked up at me and said, "I just knew I was going to love my school!"

As we were watching a cartoon together, he looks up at me and says, "I love you mommy", and gives me a kiss.

Reed is a happy, fun loving, eager to learn little boy. I am so blessed to be his mom!
