hello blog world. {I wrote this four month ago (in September) and just discovered that i never posted it} just a quick update of Reese at this phase of life bc I just wish i could freeze time.....
reeser just started four year old preschool. she goes m-th in the afternoon and just loooooves it. i mean there is no hesitation or worry on her part (except when it comes to maybe going through the drop off for her to walk down three stairs with the parent helper into her classroom. then mommy and lucy don't even have to get out of the car! but that would be way to easy and is obviously super scary ;) i love that girl.) so she just runs into the classroom and has the best time, i think? its hard to get anything out of her except for 'we dont learn anything mommy, we just play and eat a snack' so glad we're paying for this. jk i know its awesome.
she loves her sister,
loves strawberry shortcake (but not as much as she loves her sister),
plays make believe with her animals and still loves to play doc mcstuffins. yes we still have the doc mobile made out of a diaper box that she pulls around. dear disney, please make a somewhat life-size doc mobile so we don't have to have this falling apart diaper box in our living room. thank you.
this summer reese tried soccer and ballet. both were little four lesson "camps" to see if she liked it. in her words "soccer is just so super hard. and the shinguards hurt my knees" yes people, her shinguards went up past her knees. she's still a sweet little peanut. (and also still allergic to peanuts for the record). so we told her it was ok if she wasn't a soccer star and we were still proud of her and couldn't wait to see what else she would like. ballet sure seems like a perfect fit to me. but even though she really loved it (and wears the whole ballet get up all the time - even to the grocery store or maybe the park) she said "i want to do a 'paetren' (pattern. one word i just can't correct. its so cute. and she also still says 'stegot' for forgot. we are working hard on teettttthhhhh instead of teet.) anyway, she wants to do a pattern of ballet for a little bit and gymnastics for a little bit.
so today, ladies and gentlemen, reese e. mason has come out of retirement and started gymnastics again. it was darling. she was so excited about it and was so brave and awesome compared to the precious little three year old reese at the gym last fall. who knows how long she'll love it but I'm always proud of her, especially today when she jumped off the vault for the first time and then turned up to me with the biggest smile and waved!!
she is still somewhat of a picky eater. well not so much picky more just like she'd rather not eat. haha however, her fav foods are hummus with pretzels, all fruit, couscous, hotdogs if they're cut in skinny long strips and wheat thins. who is this child? oh and apple juice. we've had some pretty good fits bc i make her drink water sometimes. i know, i'm a terrible mom.
speaking of fits, not much has changed, but she still DOES NOT like for me to pick out her clothes. we've been trying to balance this for pre school. but lets just say getting her dressed is not the best part of the day. today i let her pick out her clothes and she came down in polka dots. head to toe. she said it matched bc it was all polka dots. pink dot shirt. purple and green dot running shorts. black and rainbow dot toms. oh girl. "mommy I'm so good at picking out my clothes aren't I?"
oh and this was hilarious the other day- we went on a run with the monster double bob to the library a little over a mile away. we got almost to the parking lot and i realized it was closed that day.
me: shoot the library is closed, girls!
reese: awww why?
me: its thursday. and I forgot the library is always closed on thursdays.
reese: its ok mommy. but you should have just told me and i would have remembered it for you.
yep. that sounds right. this girl still surprises me all the time with her memory. its nuts. she's a smart one i tell you. she has her daddys brain. which is so cute bc there are so many times they just "get" each other in different situations. i love it. i pray they always "get" each other. especially when she's 13 and doesn't want me to make her have a dance party to t.swift (maybe thats why God gave me lucy. she's always dancing!)
reesieboo still LOOOOOOVES all things art, crafts, painting, creating, writing, drawing. and gosh is she good at it. i mean i'm no expert at what four year old art should look like but her paintings are frame worthy in our house!! ;) she will sit and paint and color and glue and cut really focused for so long! its awesome.
she is so energetic and passionate about everything she does. happy or sad its pretty easy to tell her emotion :) love her to pieces! i feel like i say this every day- but i just LOVE four year olds :)
