Read!

Rachel here. Well, Reese definitely seems to be on the mend. She still has a bit of a runny nose but is a lot less restless at night. There are a couple of blogs that I read that show adorable pictures of their children while they are sick. The little ones seem so calm, quiet, and very cuddly. Granted Reese hasn't really been HORRIBLY sick, but she has never been like these sweet cuddly children. She goes 100 mph 24/7 no matter what. Maybe one day she'll cuddle with us. :)

Some of her new 'tricks' are really starting to crack me up. She LOVES to dress up, which is hysterical because we don't really have a lot of dress up clothes for her, so her options are quite ridiculous. She likes to wear bibs, which she doesn't even use... I just found some while cleaning the kitchen, her winter hat and mittens, and her tutus. Guess we'll be looking for some real costume type things in the near future. She's also always been a book kid. She used to run up to you with a book, sit and listen to maybe 3 words tops per page, and then we were on to the next. Now she'll grab a book, run up to you, sit in your lap, and say "READ." The "read" is new within the last couple of days, and I crack up every time I hear her little voice say it.

She's also as mischievous as ever. We took some of her birthday money and bought her this sweet little Melissa and Doug piano, which she just loves to beat on. Today she decided to tear the scale label off and run up to me with it saying "uh oh!" I took it from her, went and got the tape, and had her come in with me to fix it. I kept saying that was naughty what she did and it hurt the piano which was bad. She kept repeating after me "naughty... bad"... "naughty...bad." It was super cute. She really is such a sweet little thing!
