The water is ON?

This morning, like other mornings, I needed to use the restroom before taking the kids to school. Maddy and I went into the master bath and I put a stool in front of my sink, a toy in front of Jim's sink to prevent her from getting into the drawers. I then pulled out her toys and went into the water closet. :) She and I played. She played with the toys. She came over and shut the door. We laughed and I opened the door.

After a little while of playing, she shut the door again. Ha ha I thought. How cute! The next thing I knew, the water was running. WHAT!? The water. I swung open the door (from a seated position) and there she was - up on the second step of the stool, soap in hand and looking back at me like "hi mom" with a HUGE grin on her face.

That a was a moment that I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I was a tad "busy" but she was totally in an unsafe place. In that same moment that I was thinking about what to do, she reached over and picked up my electric tooth brush and it's holder, which was plugged in. Decision made - GET UP!

I did get up. Neither one of us was happy. I personally found it hilarious that she did that at that moment. She amazes me every day at the things she does.

Note to self: don't use a stool to protect. HA!

Slide

Reagan loves to pretend. That isn't particularily unusual for a child, but her mind just cracks me up. I love watching what she will come up with next. Tonight, in her room, she made a slide. Out of what you might ask? A blanket. Hmmm. She actually tried to slide down it and convinced me that she did.

Get off Mommy

Tonight, I was giving Maddy a bath and she bonked her head on the faucet. I naturally put my hand there while she was bending down just in case she did it again. Apparently that was not what I was supposed to do.  While she was squatting down, she shot me a look like "no mommy". Very not happy. :)

She reached up and smacked my hand. When I didn't move it, she said "noooooo" and looked at me. He heee. I giggled.

Breakfast time

Maddy has decided in the last few days that she will eat breakfast like Reagan. She is starting to copy what Reagan does more and more. This will make the transition from bottle to food much easier I think.

It's too cute. Reagan got her own cereal and sat down nicely. Maddy went over to her chair and started fussing. I said, "do you want to eat cereal like Reagan". She said "yes" and pointed upwards toward the booster seat. Okay. Nice.

I sat her down next to Reagan. They looked over at each other and smiled. Maddy literally copied Reagan the whole time. It was just adorable. Sigh, they are both growing up.

I love my sister

Reagan and Maddy are starting to click together more and more. I think as Maddy gets older, she is able to do more and Reagan is starting to enjoy her more. They both get territorial about their stuff. I've had to ask Reagan to be patient. She is, but sometimes she gets frustrated. She's doing well.

The best part is watching them snuggle. Maddy will go over to her and just lay her head down on her tummy or shoulder and just love on her. She willingly gives her kisses and hugs. It is way too cute. Reagan will bring Hootie things when she is crying and try to help her a lot.

I love watching them grow up.

Carrying stuff around

Maddy loves to carry stuff around. She always has something in her hand or tucked under her arm. It doesn't really seem to matter what it is, just something.

Tonight, she decided that she wanted the HUGE blanket from the basement. She carried it around all Monday evening with her in the basement. When it was time to go up, she was walking towards the stairs with the huge thing trailing behind her. She carried that all the way up and held it during her bottle. What a hoot.

Maddy wiggles

Maddy's got back. :) Ha! She waggles her rear-end when she dances. She is a dancing queen. Man. Anytime she hears a little music, she just starts kicking up her heels and waggling her booty. Then she starts waving her arms and twirling. It is so fun to watch her go.

Reagan - my model

Today, Reagan embraced my crazy desire to take her photo. She posed so nicely and not nicely in her pretty purple dress in the perfection of the sunlight for me. When she got tired of me posing her inside, she took me outside with a container of bubbles and just played. I got some awesome pictures of her. Once she started playing, she was fine. She even got to the point that she let me just sit there and click away.

My little angel of life. So girly today. So sweet. So crazy. I love her. Thank you for posing sweet!
