Reagan's first birthday party

Reagan was invited to a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's. A little girl in her classroom was turning four and they were having a party. I wasn't really sure what to expect. We got there (late of course) with a present in tow.

The kids were already fanned out around the game area so we joined in. We were given a cup of coins and then told to go play. Reagan wanted to do everything. She didn't speak the whole time. She just pointed to things she wanted to do. I'm not sure if it was too loud for her - I really don't remember. I just remember her not talking. She did LOVE the air hockey table and the picture booth. She kicked my butt at air hockey (not really) and we took two pictures in the booth. We did some other miscellaneous things, but nothing really thrilled her. She walked around and just went from place to place. She wanted to dump her coins in everything. I tried to steer her towards things that would give her rewards. Funny thing - we ended up with a ton of extra coins. Oh well.

The girls were nice. Most of them were older than Reagan. Most of them were at least 3 1/2, if not four. I could tell she was the youngest. She was shy I think. She wanted to do some things, but I couldn't tell if she was just tired from being sick, or shy.

Oh well. All in all, it was a good experience for her. I enjoyed meeting some of the moms from her classroom. I loved watching her play.
