Awesome Birthday Card!

Papa is amazing!

The Comfy Cozy Stairs

This is the tale of a boy who will not sleep in his bed.

Even with a broken collar bone, if prefers the tread.

No matter what his mama even said.

*All toddlers were brought safety back to bed after their escape.

Best. Birthday. Ever.

I have said it before and I will say it again, I am unbelievably blessed.

I am in awe at how beautiful and important the friends and family in my life are. 

A special thank you to Ray for being the sweetest husband. Mimi for decorating even though she had to work, and Papa and Nana for absolutely making it the most epic and special birthday I have ever had.

Lunch and Slings

Clavicle... Crash!

First broken bone. Poor Reed broke his clavicle falling out of the bed. But what was the coolest part? Mimi got to X-ray him! And he got a cool going home sling. 

He is one tough cookie. He powered through almost 24-hours before we took him in.

Off to orthopedist tomorrow!

Kids Say the Funniest Things

Friday am in the span of no more than 5 minutes:

Maddy: Mom, what is that?

Me: the thermostat.

M: Why is it sunny?

Me: Because the sun is out.

M: Where does ice come from?

Me: Water that is frozen, and when you heat it it turns to steam.

M: Where does oil come from?



Later Friday....

Me: Reed, I want cake.

R: Go to Papa's.

Me: Why? Does Papa have cake?

R: Yes, big cakes.



And even later...

Reed on the phone: Hi!

Me: Who are you talking to Reed?

R: Grandma.
