Dresses

Maddy is obsessed with dresses and the dressy ones. I got all of her fall clothes - or shall I say dresses - and she won't wear any of them. She still wants to wear the sundresses. Today she had on her princess dress and yes she wore it to school. It's funny. She did this last year too. I had forgotten a bit, but she really hates dressing warm. But once she gets really cold, she'll give in. :)

Air quotes with a rhetorical question

Reagan has started using air quotes officially. I have no idea where she gets this from, but at least she uses them right. She's really cracking me up all the stuff she comes home with too - little sayings that kids start to learn (nothing bad) and just starting to be a little more grown up.

Oh and the rhetorical question is official. She's used it three times in the right way. That means it can get documented as something she knows. :) And yes, she uses it in the right way and only at funny times. I said something to Jim tonight and he answered. I wasn't really looking for an answer, but he answered the obvious answer. She said "dad, I think that was a rhetorical question" with her look of "duh" that she has perfected so well.

Love her.

Uh-oh

Reagan got in trouble at school. She darted out of the play area ahead of the teacher and (whoops) got in trouble. She got a note sent home - the head of the school was not pleased at all. :(

By the time I knew about it, she had already gone to bed. So I spoke to her this morning. She told me what happened. She didn't lie. I was so grateful and happy that she understood to tell the truth.

Proud mama (for the not lying part).

Green poop

Reagan had green poop this morning. Not just kinda green - electric green. Apparently she had a lot of blue frosting the day before. Wow was it bright :)

Maddy's first birthday party

Maddy had her first friend birthday party today. She was so cute. She had actually totally forgotten about it. When we reminded her, she got hyper. We got to Silverlake and she saw her name - so happy. They both posed for me super fast and then went on in.

She bounced with her friends for a really long time and then they went swimming. She basically played with Arnov the entire time. It was really nice meeting some of the moms and meeting some of the kids too that she talks about.

Once we got to the party room, she had sweetly saved a seat for her best friend, Arnov. They are literally inseparable.  I was amazed at how well she did with all the kids and activities. I hope she had  a really fun time.

Jim was scheduled to go out of town after the party. She looked up at him on the way to the car and said "daddy do you have to go now?" and got really upset. It broke his heart, and mine too. But at least she had a really nice party.
