Reed made like his name by doing an impression of a tall grass sitting in a wet area. He also took on the literal sense of his name – Reed is derived from the Middle English reade, which means “red” – during the course of his first bath. (Interestingly, at least to me, I’ve discovered some of the other meanings of his name. There is, of course, the thin elastic piece that vibrates against the mouthpiece of certain woodwind instruments, but alternate definitions for reed include an arrow, an ancient Hebrew unit of length equal to six cubits, and a ridge on the side of coins. Fun fact: pennies and nickels don’t have reeds but dimes, quarters, and half dollars do—118, 119, and 150 grooves respectively.)Here are some pics from Olivia’s first bath:
