"Mom"

Reese has decided she likes to call me "Mom" now. Hello, where did "Mommy" go? She'll tell me something and finish her sentence with "Mom." Like, "Let's get in the shower Mom". It's really cute and just amazes me how each week (like always) she does something new; ending one phase and starting another.

She also knows that GiGi's name is Fredda, MaMoo's name is Ruth, Daddy's name is Matt and Mom's name is Adrienne. She'll point to me and say, "That is Adrienne!" She knows baby brother's name and that her name is Reese Addison Sicinski. She can't quite say the whole thing at once, but she knows and can pronounce Sicinski.

We can have a conversation about anything which is fun. She'll tell me how Joe at school put sand in her hair and then went to time out. She also remembers when we talk about things we'll do later in the week, like have dinner with PaPa Larry. Reese will say, "You are taking me to school tomorrow and Daddy is taking me to school on Monday." It amuses me, can you tell?

While having dinner with PaPa Larry this week at Lupe's in The Woodlands, Reese went potty in the public restroom! A first! She did so well. I figured she would do it because at home she uses Daddy's commode (as she calls it) without her potty seat. She has really done well and made this an easy transition. Love being diaper free, for at least 3 more months. ;)

Her funniest thing to do now is when she doesn't want to sleep she will get out of bed, open and shut her door and run back to her bed. If I go check on her she will give me a sly look like, "What?". She loves to say, "I'm not sleepy!" So last night I let her get up and lay down with me on the couch for 10 minutes. Then I told her I was tired and we needed to go to bed. She took her Cars blanket, walked to her room and shut the door. Oh, she cracks us up! Before I laid down, I peeked in and she was laying in her bed telling me, "I'm not sleepy!" I must admit I gave in and let her lay down with me. She proceeded to chat for 10 more minutes. For the most part, she has been sleeping in her room whether it be on a pallet on the floor, on her mattress on the floor or in her bed. Whatever works for her....like I said before it is just another phase!

Some other cute things she is doing...

The past few days when I pick her up from school she and her friend Chloe give each other a hug and kiss. Chloe will say, "I want to give Reese a hug." I will ask Reese if she wants to hug Chloe and she'll run over and give her a hug and kiss.

When the sun starts going down Reese will say, "It's nite nite time! Mr. Sun is going down and Mr. Moon is going up." Then when she wakes up she will say, "Mr. Moon went to bed and Mr. Sun went up."

Reese also knows that things can have two different names. The other day Matt asked her what cereal she was eating and she said, "Cheerios." He said to her, "Also known as?" and she replied, "Honeybees." She used to call Honey Nut Cheerios Honeybees.

With kids, the fun never stops!
