Countdown to Christmas - Day 13

We've had our hands full with a sick child. Unfortunately, he's been cooped up in the house all weekend. He was wide awake and talking up a storm at five this morning. He had a little breakdown when he discovered that his Bulldog jersey was in the washing machine.

To take his mind off the jersey, we did a painting project. His daddy has been painting Chase's room this weekend, so Reed has been dying to paint. He was so excited when we pulled out a paint-by-numbers project.
Busy little boy

His favorite part was putting the brush in the water.

He did good keeping the brush and paint on the paper.

Our little artist

Since he's been at home all weekend, he's been reminding us when it is time for another surprise. I think it's the highlight of his day.

He sees it, but what is it?

It's a package of stretch lizards! Landon has some at his house, and Reed has to play with them every time we are over there, so he was excited when he discovered what they were.

Waiting patiently for Daddy to open it.

"Quit Daddy, Quit!"

The picture of Reed crying makes me sad... poor little guy:)!

I love him in camo and think that he did a great job painting. I can't wait to come and see Chase's room when it is finished!

I hope you feel better soon, Reed!
