Reed is 4 years old today! I can not believe that our little guy is so big! And being little and big at the same time is so fitting for Reed - he is like a little walking contradiction. He says "I love you Mommy" for no reason, yet he screams "no" in his loudest voice. He is clumsy and full of bruises, yet he's good at every sport he tries. He wants to be exactly like his big brother, yet he loves his blankie and stuffed animals (and baby voice). He likes to be silly and get lots of attention, yet he's shy when he's the center of attention. But the funny thing is -- he's charming and lovable in all of these many characters!
In the past year, Reed has learned to write his name, count to at least 20, make his own breakfast, play Wii, hit a golf ball, swim almost on his own, sleep later than 5:30 am (mostly) and jump in the waves. He has also learned a full complement of bodily noises and the art of mooning (oh, Reed!).
But most importantly, Reed is just Reed. He's hard to describe, but easy to love. He's kind and funny and silly and sweet. He's big and little and strong and fearless. He's Reed...and we love him just the way he is!
