This past weekend my parents came to keep Reese so that Lofton and I could go to Montgomery for a night out with friends. Holland, a high school buddy of Lofton's, is a member of what we like to call a secret society. Without going into a lot of details {because, duh, it's a secret}, we got dressed up and had a ball.
Why is putting on a pretty dress so much fun? And my husband in a tux? I was a smitten college freshman all over again.
Reese is keeping us on our toes. All full of questions and stories.
How do ants build tunnels? Can I be spiderman when I grow up? No, I think I want to be an orange ninja turtle when I grow up. They are really fast. Will you read me a book? What's for dinner? Did you know that a penny is worth one and a quarter is worth twenty five?
It goes on and on.
He's also sounding out words like a champ. Since teaching is my day job, I'm trying to let this phonics thing progress on it's own. He still has another year of pre-k to conquer, after all. This weekend he spelled Emo without any help.
I really struggle with wanting to bottle him up. I believe it was Cassie who coined the term "happysad" and that is what this stage of life is to me. Lots of happy with a tinge of sad!
