Talking, kisses and boys!

Well, while Reece may not be talking very much, he has started saying "Love you" with a kiss, when one of us leaves or when I drop him off at daycare. This, of course, melts my heart, and makes me want to stay with him! Another thing he does when we're about to leave, is he'll go around kissing everything! The couch, the dog, the side table... everything. The kid is just full of love.
I've also just realized that he says a lot more than we think, we just don't quite understand some of the things he says. This makes me feel much better about his speech development.
Another silly story, last night while taking a bath, Reece decided to throw all of his tub toys on the floor outside of the tub. And he decided to play with the only "toy" left in the tub, his wee-wee! He's such a boy! Before having kids, I always questioned the nurture v. nature concept. Well, I think my son is proof that, for the most part, boys are just boys!

Big Boy Room!

Reece is completely in his new room now. He's sleeping at night and taking naps in there all on his own. He typically wakes up in a good mood and he's even started playing when there's enough light. We are very lucky he's adjusted so easily, hopefully it continues with the arrival of the new baby!
Last Friday we met up with our friends Sheila and Russel at the Orchard Town Center to play at Little Monkey Bizness. Unfortunately, because two school districts were out that day, the place was packed! We decided to just play at the play area outside since it was such a nice day and then we went to the park. We had a blast and Reece napped for 3 hours! If the weather continues to be so nice, we might try that again this Friday, a 3 hour nap allows Mommy to make some much needed progress on new baby preparation!

Reece's new "big boy bed", regular bed in the works as soon as we're sure (reasonably) that Reece won't end up on the floor!
 

Big boys get dinosaurs!
