At your six year appointment you weighed 42 pounds and were
3’8” You came out of your vision and
hearing exam beaming and said, “I just love that test!” Dr. Dern looked you over and listened to your
lungs. She asked you a few questions,
which you answered matter of factly. You
made Dad and I smile in each other’s eyes because we are so proud of you. Dr. Dern mentioned that you needed your MMR
booster shot. She asked how you were
feeling and you said your throat hurts a little sometimes. We though you had been saying your throat
hurt because Elle had a bad cough and was getting cough drops. We just thought you wanted some too. Well, they tested you for Strep (because they
didn’t want to give you a shot when you were sick) and sure enough, you had
Strep! We were so surprised, and felt
bad because we didn’t realize you were sick. You’re on antibiotics now,
thank goodness!
"Mom can I watch a show (right after waking up)?"
"Wait a
minute and let your brain wake up."
"Mom,
I counted to 60."
You insist each night that you are not tired. You want to stay up with us. You fall asleep on the floor or couch, and then when we pick you up, you insist you were just resting your eyes and you are not tired. We say okay and carry you to bed where you say, "I'm just going to lay here for a minute... but I'm not tired." We say okay, kiss you goodnight, and smile.

Comfort from Mom. You will look me deep in the eyes and stare with a smile, then wink. You come randomly for a hugs. You want me especially when you're tired or sad. Before bed you still love a story, a song, and a back rub/scratch.

You won't hold my hand in public, unless I make you when crossing a busy street on in a parking lot.
I never thought I would tell you to stop reading, but I have to all the time. You are a reader, ReecerBoy, big time. Whether you are engrossed in a Magic Tree House book, or digging through a National Geographic Kids magazine, you are hooked! This is such a good problem to have... but you need to get to school on time! You love to read in the car, too... this can be a problem for you, because it's really hard to focus with Elle singing right next to you!
"This is where Jesus is, inside the rock, and Jesus is inside there and the sign says "No people allowed, only Jesus." But he's not there, he's in heaven!"
Elle to Reece: "Reece do you have a favorite girl yet? Jesus gives you your favorite girl, you know. Then you have a baby grow in her tummy."
You're learning punctuation, so you talk like this... "Mom how are you question mark... I'm happy exclamation point"
You're always thinking and observing... "How can you draw a grabber using a 3 & a Z?"
On the Coaster's Holiday Express you asked Santa to choose something to get you ("Because he's not the real Santa anyway, so it doesn't matter, Mom.").
In Sprouts, "I’ll go find my own snack. Stay there mom." You ran back to me two
times to check in, then finally found the granola bars on your own.
Before Kindergarten began...
"Mom if you have tears in your eyes I'm going to say KINDERGARTEN IS COOL to you."
At the end of your first day of K: "I had so much fun! I learned about stink bugs, camouflage, and green & black!"

"Mom, I want you to drop me off so I can put my backpack on
the fence and play. Just park and I’ll
cross the street and go to school by myself." We made a deal that I would drop you off on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I still walk in with you on MWF.

Elle asked for a real dog, a real phone, and tattoos.
You are reading all the signs around you. "Mom you can't turn around here." (reading a No U-Turn sign)
You're also spelling everything: H.i m.o.m. N.o. M.o.m.
O is my favorite because it's a letter, a word, a number and a shape!
How is there so much space around us if the Earth is so small? After looking at pic of the universe.
