Tuesdays With Reed
June 3rd, 2009
Here are some nuggets from a day with my son.
- “Wow, what’s that?” total = 87. I’m not kidding. He said that 87 times yesterday.
- We went to Best Buy to return something and buy mommy a CD and as we walked the isles the video game demos caught our eye. So, I hesitantly allowed Reed to play a game of Rock Band. He rocked the drums, of course, and I played guitar. The results were phenomenal. Not only did he make it through the entire song without being retired (on easy), but when the song was over there was no meltdown. I just said, “Alright, it’s over.” Reed proceeded to sit down the drum sticks and wave goodbye to the drum set saying, “Ba ta da.” (that’s how he says goodbye). It was a proud moment for me on both parts.
- My son flirts with every waitress at every restaurant we go to. I wonder if he’ll grow out of that?
- It might seem backward, but the times I see myself in Reed the most are the times when he is quietly dozing off to sleep in the back of the car. Good stuff.
- No nap for Reed = one cranky daddy.
All in all it was another great day, but as always we both love it when mommy comes home.
