I am really not sure who is growing more right now. Every time I turn around, both of my girls are doing something completely new. It's just crazy. Maddy is repeating just about every word out of our mouths. She doesn't stop either. She tries each one. Most of the time she gets it right and will use it again later. Sometimes she struggles - it just depends on the sound of the letters.
What's amazing is that she actually talks to us. She will say "mama" or "dada" really loud and then quietly point her finger, talk to us, nod her head and then say "okay"? Seriously. What the heck happened to my baby?
Reagan is taking more of an interest in reading and writing. Those skills are growing like crazy now. Every time I turn around, she showing off her letters, writing, drawing or wanting to read. Something clicked in her. I am just amazed every day at how much my kids grow every day. Sniff.

Taking the Photoshoot down
Maddy and Reagan had pictures at school today. We started the morning well. We got up and ready. We waited to put the matching outfits on until right before we left. We arrived and got in line. We didn't have to wait long. Maddy was a little slow to get warmed up to the idea. She wanted to hold onto her blanket and cup. She didn't really look like she wanted to participate.
With some help from her big sister, she walked onto the white tarp that was on the ground and started posing. Perfect... or so I thought. Not soon after the first few poses, they directed her to sit down. She did. Then she started scooting. Backwards. She scooted so far back that she bumped into the backdrop, which I'm sure she though was the wall, and about took it down.
She bumped it enough that it rocked and wobbled. We all paniced. She was un-phased - if that is a word. It rocked the photo set enough that we all had to wait while they put it back together.
Oops!
After that, Maddy did well. At one point, she got her feelings hurt. I'm not even sure why. I just know that at one point she got upset and just turned away from everything and stopped. She didn't answer anyone, she didn't move. She pouted. Sigh... my sweet.
Reagan was a pro. She posed and laughed on cue. I watched her sit there so beautifully act for the ladies. She posed so well, it actually made me a bit jealous that she doesn't pose that way with me. Hmmph. Either way, she looked like she had a ton of fun doing it.
