Reece wonders...

Dr. Reece Ivan MillerSanta gave Spencer & Reece a skeleton for Christmas!

The latest from Reece:

1) He saw a picture of a kidney in his friends book today and said (in a very sophisticated voice), "mom, that's a kidney". He knows his organs better than I do!

2) At the beginning of the week we were talking about where our food goes after it leaves our mouth. This is how our dialogue went:

Reece: Mom, where does out food go after it goes through our mouth?

Juliann: It goes down our throat, into our stomach, through our colon...

Reece interrupts: no Mom, it goes through our intestines first and then our colon

Juliann: oh ya, you are right. And then it turns into poop and out it comes (there is no beating around the bush--we just get to the point!)

3) Reece and Spencer had a stomach bug last week and so Reece was fascinated about what was happening in his body, why he was throwing up, and how was his body going to kill the stomach bug? So next time you see him, ask him how to kill a stomach bug! With a little prompting he will tell you that the antibodies in our blood which are good guys will kill the bad stomach bug and then you won't throw up any more. For the remainder of the week if he didn't want to eat something he would say, "oh, I can't eat that because I have a stomach bug and it will make me throw up". Little stinker!

4) He is OBSESSED with Hurricanes, Tornado's, winter storms, volcano's, and floods. That is ALL we talk about on a daily basis. It amazes me how action-packed my boys are. They are fascinated with anything that has action in it. It has been fun to see the "boy world"--girls and boys are wired COMPLETELY different. I can prove it!
