Observant!

Reese is very observant. She notices everything! She knows that when I pick her up at PaPa and Yai Yai's, she needs to get her shoes and coat to go home. She knows which remote control to give to me to turn on the TV so she can watch her favorite shows. At night when she wants her diaper changed or needs something to drink, she finds my glasses for me and gives them to me to put on. Now, we need to use these abilities to become potty trained!

First Brother/Sister Conversation

We were sitting in the car the other day, and I was telling Reese that she should go to school because she would get to see Miss J, her teacher, when Riley asks, "Do you like Miss J?".
I answer, "Yes, she likes Miss J," and Riley says, "No, Mom, I was not talking to you. I was talking to Sissy."
Riley then turns to his sister and asks, "Do you like Miss J?". Reese nods her head.
Riley then asks, "Do you like me?"
Reese answers, "Es (yes)!" and laughs at her brother like he is the greatest, which she thinks he is!

Lots of Firsts

Within the past few months Reese has had many firsts. She went to see her first play, Our Town, a high school production that her cousin was in. She did really well being quiet, but did move around quite a bit.

Reese flew on her first airplane trip to Hawaii. She was sick so she did really well by sleeping the whole first flight and most of the second!

Reese woke up one morning and said, "I want milk", one of her first whole sentences.

A few weekends ago Reese saw her first movie in a movie theater, Paul Blart's Mall Cop, her brother's choice, of course. She was willing to sit by herself on a booster seat until I moved the seat and caught her leg between the booster and the arm rest. Bad Mommy for moving her!

This isn't a first to brag about, but Reese just got over pneumonia for the first and hopefully last time. It was an acute case in that it was only in the upper lobe of her right lung.
