Getting caught up

Week of July 13th
Reagan - Basketball camp this week at Silverlake. She is doing well, but has determined she doesn't like being "forced" to do anything. I giggled when she told me that, but totally impressed should could vocalize that feeling.

Maddy is growing up quite a bit. She is starting to show signs of complete dependence and we are constantly fighting the "terrible threes" more than anything. She is full of energy and loves to snuggle.
Tonight, I noticed an odd thing- she had a clump of hair fall out of her head. Not sure what that is about, but I will be paying attention to it for sure.

Week of July 6th -
Reagan & Maddy love Silverlake.
They both had swimming lessons on Monday and did really well.

Piano lesson - it was Reagan's best lesson yet. She amazes me a bit. She can sit down and pretty much play anything the teacher gives her. It's amazing. I can imagine what she'd be able to do if she "wanted to focus" on piano. :)

Frozen at the pool on Friday night - we went over to Silverlake for dinner and swimming. It was nice.
We got there about 8 pm and hung out in the pool. It was freezing. Reagan didn't care - she and Jim went out into the main area in the pool. I was grateful that Maddy had no interest in moving past the kid area. :) Thank goodness. She played around with a few random kids she introduced herself to. Once we realized that the movie screen was way too small for us to enjoy the movie, we packed up and left. Before we left, Reagan tried to climb up the rock wall. She got part way up and decided not to do it - she complained about the harness hurting her legs.  Needless to say, the promise of Graters was a better thought to her and we left.

We went to KI on Saturday.  We got up and played for about 4 hours. We went through the Dinosaur Park. Maddy was petrified of the fake animals. I will have to say that they were quite life-like. But about half-way through, she got over her fear and started having fun with them all. We did some digging for bones, but basically got some good walking time in. After that, we got some cute face painting done - Reagan got a kitty cat and Maddy got a tiger. It was perfect for their personalities.

We did get Maddy back onto the roller coaster she was afraid of the weekend before. She figured it out at the last minute, but still got on. She did so much better than she did the first time, but still let us know that she was not interested in that ride again.

This weekend, Reagan tried to win another stuffed animal and she did it again. She played the same hoops game and won two animals - one for her and one for Maddy. Good big sister. Most of the rides, she would also help Maddy get situation. So cute to watch her care for Maddy.

Reagan is definitely my roller coaster girls. She loves them. Maddy is not liking them yet. I can't wait to see what she likes next year. We never took Reagan on coaster rides before this year too much. So I wonder if Maddy will change. Regardless, we have fun. Its fun to watch them experience the rides and other stuff. Makes me smile.
