His dad started writing letters on his back when he was younger, who knows why, but anyway, it was just a way to calm him down probably. So when we got married, I would ask Cory to scratch my back or something and he would start writing letters, that made words, that I had to guess.
The big joke is I would draw on his back, and never do the letters right. Apparently there is a set of rules that must be followed, such as no lowercase letters, no picking up your finger off the back while drawing a letter, etc. Well after a few years, I refuse to participate...it is not a fun "game" to me.
Caden loves it and even though he can't really guess the letters yet, he loves to have his back scratched...so the Reid tradition continues!
Now for a few funnies from Caden...
We went to McDonald's friday night for dinner because our power went out for a couple of hours and I wasn't sitting in a hot house...anyway Caden requested fries instead of apples, but Cory told him if he ate to many fries he would get fat. So Caden then replied, "well, I will only eat a few. I don't want to get fat, then I can't take my shirt off outside!" Who knows where this came from!
We also had a problem with him bossing some of his friends around lately. We have tried to talk to him about not bossing Carter or any of them around. We tried to explain it to him, why he shouldn't be bossy, and at one point Cory or I said if they are his friends and he likes them, then he shouldn't boss them around. To this he replied very certainly...Mom, you love me and you boss me all the time. What do you say to that?

Kids are so funny!
Too funny. We have had to have this discussion with Max. That he is not the boss of Sam and Ben. I told him when he was a dad he could be a boss, until then he did not get to boss anyone!
"I GUIDE you, honey. I don't boss you."
That was my response to Colin when he asked me the very same question! :-) Too funny!
Sounds to me like he has more of Cory in him than I thought!
That letter thing is funny (and also something for the more "advanced" thinkers) my sister and I used to do this to each other when we were little kids. You also gotta love Cadin - he shows some amazing wisdom!
