The Cute Report

Rhiannon Adelia Reinhard is a child of the 21st century: first blog at three; categorizes movies by format (e.g. DVD), figured out the CD player console by the age of two, and one of her favorite shows is the US version of The Office. Readers of The Cute Report will receive occasional posts of new, remarkable, and often funny events in the daily life of a now-five-year-old girl for whom beds still are for jumping and inanimate objects talk and have feelings (Disney-inspired animism, no doubt).

Trouble in Paradise



The honeymoon is over. On our recent trip to Door County over Easter, Rhiannon resolved to dump Anthony in favor of a new boy she met at school. Connor is famouse for pulling faces in the playroom and for genuinely being a nice guy. Anthony is famous for streaking and trying to pee on guests to his house. Anthony is also a bit of a thug, successfully beating up siblings and children almost twice his age (he is 3) in fits of anger. So Rhiannon wisely chose someone new. Isn't it typical that the boy left at home is replaced by a new boy met away at school?


On the drive back to Kenosha, Rhiannon sang songs about Connor (she never sang songs about Anthony). She also dictated a letter:


Dear Anthony,


I am not going to marry you. I am going to marry Connor.


Thanks!


Rhiannon



As Rhiannon was getting tucked into bed last night, she asked Jayni to remove the enormous princess balloon that Anthony brought her two weeks ago. "Take it downstairs". And so the purging begins to make room for more love in that little heart. Woe to Connor should Anthony ever meet him.


Devastatingly cute.


Andrew (Papa)
