Can't use figurative language with Reece...

Reece is our literal child. If we ever call her a nickname like "cutie, pumpkin, Reece's cup, etc." she responds with "I am not a pumpkin, I AM REECE!" It really gets her frustrated.

I learned my lesson again last night when I tried to talk figuratively to her. We were leaving Regan's swim lessons and it was cold outside. I told Reece "you need to put your coat on or you will freeze your tail off." She replied, "but Mommy I don't have a tail!" :) I had to chuckle at that one. So, needless to say, she did not put her coat on.
