GrandDadE's Bud

       I didn't think going back to work and leaving Reid would be easy.  Just before I got pregnant with Reid, we had been thinking about where the baby would go when I returned back to work.  The answer came like the biggest gift I could have gotten the entire pregnancy.  My dad retired just as we found out baby number three was on the way.  My dad, "GrandDadE" (and yes, that is how we spell it!) offered to keep our baby at our house when the time came to return to work.  Can you believe that?! I don't know many grandads who would do such a thing!
       Now, Reid is still very young so the transition hasn't been flawless.  We are still working on a great day schedule for him and GrandDadE.  As I've mentioned before, Reid can definately "speak up" when he doesn't agree with something.  I don't want to say that Rico and I ignore Mr. Reid...but, we aren't always going to jump at the second he begins crying.  My sweet daddy has been walking the floors with him and just yesterday I found out he didn't even eat lunch.  WHAT?! No, no, no...that just will not work.  So, we've got a bit of a "Whip Reid Into Shape Bootcamp" going on this weekend (love that it's a 3 day weekend by the way!) and fingers crossed Tuesday will be better! 
       I am extremely blessed to have the amazing parents I have.  I know most people think they have the best parents in the world...but, I REALLY do have THE best!  I could never say "Thank You!" enough to my wonderful parents.  They are always there for me.  I hope one day Spencer, Briggs and Reid view Rico and I just as I view my amazing mom and dad!!  I love you both so much!!!
