New words

She's got more words! Now we're cookin'. LOL

Light is better pronounced.
Lunch is Lunn
Baths is baaatt
Bear is Grrrrrr
Dog is Doooo
Her favorite thing to do now is growl and act like a monkey. We can ask her what sound a bear makes and she will growl. She'll growl if she sees a picture of one as well. I can also now get her to do the monkey motions - oo aa.

Good morning Maddy

This morning, Maddy woke up early, or so I thought. I got out here and got things together and marched upstairs to wake Reagan first. Reagan was resistant, but I left her light on and walked into Maddy's room. It was quiet, very quiet. Odd, she was just up fussing. Hmmm. I looked in and all I saw was a ball of fabric in the corner of her bed and the only noise was snoring. She was back asleep. She had covered herself completely in her blankets and gone back to sleep.

I quickly left and closed the door. I went back to Reagan's room and turned the lights out, closed the door and now I'm down here writing.

Cute.

Detail girl

Reagan always seems to blow my mind lately. Tonight, we were driving over to Florence and she began to talk about "Cinderella, the animated movie" and/or the story. She got the scene stuck in her head where the wicked step-sisters were signing at the piano. Many of you may know that scene.

What blew my mind was the detail that she recalled. She told me exactly what the girls were wearing - the colors of the dresses, the tiaras, their eyes and lips - and the fact that they were singing horribly and smacking each other with a flute. I laughed because I knew that I would have to watch it myself to verify. Either way, I was amazed at the level of detail she gave. Wow girl!

Three cavities

Nice. They said it wasn't my fault. She has really deep grooves in her teeth. It's just the way they are made. But still it makes me sick.

defiance ugh

Reagan has gotten a bout of defiance lately. I'm not sure what's up, but she's decided since she's turned four that she is the boss of the world. I love it. It drives me crazy. She is definitely trying to assert herself and figure out where the boundaries are.   The good thing is that I've been home during this period. I'm able to handle it a tad better. :) I love watching her discover new things. I love watching her put things together. She's so much fun.

Reagan's fourth appointment

Reagan had her fourth appointment today. They do a whole bunch of stuff at this appointment. They check all the normal stuff, but also do a vision test and blood pressure. It's amazing. They also gave her four shots. Yuck.

The doctor said she was very bright and very active. She is quite fun.

Cool thing. She's 41.75 inches tall and 41.4 pounds and in the 86% for both height and weight. Just right for my girl.

Clickety clack

The horse that we found for Maddy apparently was a hit. She loves it. We played in the basement tonight and she rode on it quite a bit. She not only can get on it and ride it correctly, but she also knows which ear to press to get the song to start. Bad thing - she did it so much that now we can't get the song out of our heads. :)

Puzzle time

Reagan wanted to work on some puzzles tonight. She got a few between her birthday and Christmas. She pulled her Princess puzzle pack and put together two of them in under 30 minutes. One was a 48 count and one was a 24 count. I was impressed. She seemed to have no issue putting them together.

She also started working on a 100 count puzzle. She started working on it with Jim and my dad. But I think she lost interest.

I was so impressed. She never like puzzles and wasn't patient enough to do them for the longest time. Thank you "school". :)
