Reed Says Summer 2016 Edition

As always Reed has said some pretty funny things over the last few months that I just have to share!!!

We were talking about our neighbors and how their son (who just graduated from college) lives with them. Reed's immediate question was "how can a son be a grown-up if he still lives with them?"

I was deciding on what to wear for a funeral and asked Reed what he thought about my outfit. He was not a fan and told me that "if that was me getting dressed I would look much better."

We've been swimming a ton this Summer and not to long ago we all put our swimsuits on to get in the pool. Reed took one look at me when I walked out in my two-piece suit and said "I'm not sure about your bathing suit, you look a little flat and a little chunky."

Sometimes when we walk the dog Reed will get a little hair or saliva on him which I've taught him to report to me so I can wipe it off immediately to avoid an allergy incident. Reedcito announced that "Dodger got hair on my favorite arm!" When I questioned why it was his favorite arm, he replied "yeah, I like to use it for more things than my other arm.'

The Monkey started laughing when things were not going right one morning. I asked him what he thought was funny because I was a little upset about his behavior. He told me that "sometimes all you can do is just laugh about some things Mom!"

I really do think he's inherited Jon's fear of getting older. Out of nowhere Reed turned to me and said "I don't like having change, I want my life to always stay the same."

Before getting in the pool The Reedster asked me "Mom, do you know why I wear a top (rash guard) when I go swimming? So I don't get water in my belly button."

Reed's thoughts on creation - "How did the first people come to life Mom? I think God or Jesus carved two people out of playdoh and they came to life."

Me- "Dad might stop by your soccer practice tonight."
Kieran- "And we will say go Reed, go Reed, go Reed!!!"
Reed- "Save it for my games Buddy."

We were at the zoo last week with Lyla and all three kids kept holding hands, which was adorable, but one time Lyla came up to Reed and said "Reed can I hold your hand?" He looked at her so sweetly and said "you can always hold my hand Lyla."
