Sleepovers

Garrett left for Texas Wednesday evening to help Mary Beth and Alex move, so it was just Reese and I for a few days. I HATE staying the night by myself. Especially living out in the country. My mind starts playing tricks on me and then I start thinking of all these different scenarios of stuff that could happen. (I know silly) needless to say I didn't sleep very well Wednesday night so Reese and I stayed with the Lee family. We had a lot of fun. I just love those 3 sweet children, so does Reese. Then on Thursday night we stayed with my mom.

Maybe I'm just being bias but I am so proud of Reese for knowing where all her body parts are. I'm not sure the typical age for kids to know all these things but for being 14 months old and knowing where everything is, makes me so proud. She is also very well with commands. If I ask her to go get her shoes, she walks right back to her room and to her closet where her basket of shoes is. When I ask her to go find her blanket, she goes and finds it and brings it to me, same with her sippy. When I ask her if she wants milk she goes straight to the refrigerator. When I ask her if she's ready to go night night she goes straight back to her crib. A lot of times Garrett and I don't even need to make her go to bed. She will start saying night night to us so we put her down and she goes right to sleep. One night she was saying night night 30 minutes before her bedtime so Garrett put her down and didn't hear a peep. When we stayed at my moms she was laying on the couch about to fall asleep I asked her if she was ready for bed and she got off the couch and went straight to the room where her pack n play was and looked back at me like "I'm ready". It just blows my mind that she knows all this at her age. I'm just one proud momma :)
