While his grandma Noreen was visiting us for two weeks, Reed learned to say: Do you want to play with me Grandma. Then, after grandma left, insert the name of whomever is most available. One of the highlights of our recent trip to stay with Micah's brother Joel and his wife Steph was that Reed's constant, though polite, refrain contained their names instead of ours!
We got a kitten who loves to playfully bite and scratch the heck out of us. Related kitten quotes: I love the kitten forever..... cause she's my dear one. (an appropriation of a line from the book Mama Do You Love Me?)
Besides the kitten Reed's favorite lovey is a bunny he sleeps with: Something's wrong with Bunny Fufu.....fix him Papa!
Papa asks what's wrong.
He's sad about something!..... followed by many sentences more about the condition of Bunny Fufu I couldn't quite make out.
Other notable quotes:
I'm not stubborn!
That's good fun!
When I'm big and tall and turn into papa. (when asked if he wants to have a beard when he grows up)
Not YET! (in answer to any request or command)
You have a penis, mama?
You have a vulva, papa?
I so cute! (he said this a while ago, but it was the first time he used the first person)
