Reece Smith


"My mom says she was gobsmacked when I was born. My brother, Andrew, was born in 1986, 10 years before me. Mom and Dad thought that was it.

"They thought they had finished with nappies and cots and baby clothes and all that stuff. Then I came along.

"Mom says I'm not just a surprise. I'm a little miracle.

"Because she works full time as a sales representative, I go to Little Owls nursery in Wolverhampton.

"It was very hard at first because it was full-time, five days a week. I didn't like being dropped off.

"But now I'm coming on in leaps and bounds. I love it.

"My best friends are Abby and Zuhair and I like playing, painting, drawing, singing and learning all the colours.

"When I'm four I'll go to school but we don't know which one yet because we've only just moved to Bilbrook.

"When I'm at home I like playing with my Teletubbies, Postman Pat and my Fun Factory video. I know all the songs from Fun Factory and we all sing along with it.

"My favourite character is Winnie the Pooh. I like kicking a ball around. It doesn't really bother me whether I'm kicking it inside or out but Mom says it's better outside.

"I've already been abroad. We went to Majorca in the summer of 1998 and it was great.

"I thought the pool was fantastic and I loved flying, even though it makes Mom a bit nervous."

"I don't really know what I want to be when I'm grown up."
