Blocks and Beans
Recently at Reese’s 2 year check up they had me fill out a questionnaire about Reese’s development. It asked questions like “Does your child jump up and down with both feet leaving the ground?” and “Does your child respond to simple commands?”.
One of the questions was “Does your child stack blocks one on top of another?”. I thought to myself, “I have no idea!”. I have never seen Reese play with blocks except to “keen-up”(clean-up) legos at Grandma Mac’s house. She doesn’t even have any blocks, not that I think she would be very interested in playing with them if she did. I felt like a horrible mom for not knowing if my child was capable of stacking blocks.
Today Reese showed me in her own way that even though she doesn’t own any blocks, she knows what she’s doing in the stacking department. Kudos to my babe for using her imagination and working with what she’s got!


Oh man, I just want to go pat her belly! Don’t worry, I’ll leave yours alone though. :)
Hehe Anne, this photo does not really accurately showcase Reese’s belly. She really does not have a belly whatsoever, so it’s actually quite funny that she looks like it in this photo. I think it may have to do with the fact that today was laundry day(if you know what I mean) and the jeans she has on are 18 month size:).
My wife is very protective of our daughter, who incidentally, does have a belly.
