Reid is SEVEN!

REID is SEVEN!  Wow, wow, wow!

7 things about 7 year old Reid...

He looks SO MUCH OLDER today than a year ago.  Those big, permanent front teeth make such a difference.  Combine that with how tall he is for his age and people always think he's 2-3 years older than he actually is.

He is responsible and a rule follower.  He always double checked that he had his folder and homework every morning before school. They had pajama day at some point this year and apparently it was very emphasized that spaghetti straps were not allowed.  He didn't know what those were and must have asked me 20 times that morning if I was sure that his pajamas didn't have spaghetti straps - haha!  He reminds me a lot of myself as a child in this way.

He is still such a numbers guy.  He loves calendars/dates, time, and scores.  He is very proud that he was the  "(math facts) timed test champion" this year.  His number sense is pretty amazing.

He loves playing sports, watching sports, and analyzing sports.  He enjoyed playing basketball and baseball this year and learned some good lessons during those seasons.  He isn't super loyal to any professional or college teams and is definitely more of a bandwagon fan at this point. ;) If they're winning, they're his team!

He has recently been really interested in states!  He likes to sing the "Fifty States" song every night before bed and has started a state quarter collection book.  

He is adored and looked up to by his little brother and sister.  He and Georgia Kate are especially close and now that Rhett is a little older it's been fun to see the boys bond more too.

He enjoys board games, legos, playing outside with friends, swimming, chapter books, surprises (which surprises me!), and jokes.
