Reed has a new favorite word.  ‘Pretty girl’

I’m sure this is sort of my fault because that’s what I call Alison.  Reed is my ‘good boy’ and Ali is my ‘pretty girl’.  He has taken it to a new level though.

Last Saturday we were flipping channels.  Randy stopped on CMT and a Sugarland video was playing with the girl in a bikini.  Reed stopped dead in his tracks and stared.  In a zombie voice he said ‘pretty girl’.  If she wasn’t on the screen for a second he got all upset and kept repeating, ‘pretty girl, pretty GIRL, PRETTY GIRL’.  Then she came back and he was ok.  When the song ended mayhem ensued.  We kept flipping the channels looking for a pretty girl.  Then I tried to distract him with baseball (which always works).  Not this time.  Finally a Carrie Underwood song came on and he was happy.

Fast forward a few days.  We were playing in the front yard and Megan was playing outside.  She is a middle school girl who lives across the street from us.  Reed went into zombie mode again.  He stood next to me and zombie voiced ‘pretty girl’.  It is hilarious because he stands totally still, but points his fat finger while he says it.  Megan came over to see Ali and Mr. Pretty Girl hid behind my leg.  He was acting so shy and silly around her…like a middle schooler. 

Who is this kid??  It is NOT time for this boygirl nonsense yet!!!

Regardless…it was awesome.
