Every morning before we drop Emma off for school, Reece turns to her in the minivan and asks" Going to be blue cup today Emma?" Now, for those of you who may not know, there is a cup system in Emma's class that is discipline based. The entire class has a popsicle stick with their name on it and everyone starts the day off in blue cup. As the day progresses and of course the usual suspects find their way passing thru the colors of the rainbow like Skittles, you can wind up all the way in dreaded red cup if you are not lucky. Thank my lucky stars Emma has not gotten there( yet). We have found our way to yellow cup a few times, but being that she is of the fairer sex, these were all talking and chatting it up with your girlfriend offenses. So, seeing that Reece's day revolves around Emma, literally, dropping her off in the morning, doing somersaults all afternoon " dressed" as Super Duck until 2:00, then loading back in the car to get Emma, he hones in everyday on what cup she was in. And he loves to be her angel on the shoulder when she hops out of the van in the morning and remind her to be good and stay in blue cup. Little brothers are good for something, if not the gentle reminder to walk the line.
