Playing possum

I was laying down in bed after my horrible day at golf and Jim brought Reagan in to see me. I had a nasty headache and had decided bed was a much better place for me at that moment. She proceeded to crawl up next to me on the other pillow and put her head down. Then she started snoring and playing possum. It was so cute. She'd lay there with her eyes shut and snort.

Just too cute.

Long day

Today, I went to my first golf outing. I must say, it is much harder to hit that stupid little ball than I thought it would be. I thought I'd connect at least 50% of the time - NOPE!!! Oh my.

I had such a hard time hitting that little ball that by the time we got through our fourth hole, I had totally given up. Not only that, I'd popped my neck out three different times that I ended up with a migraine by the end of it.

No amount of beer or anything else could keep me from total embarrassment on the final hole - I whiffed putting. Yes folks - I WHIFFED! I haven't quite figured out how the heck I managed to do it. I only had two beers in four hours - that couldn't have been it. So the only thing I was left with was I was just really that lame at golf.

Oh well!

Catching a ball

This afternoon, we all packed up for the first time and went out to Jim's mom's farm. They have a large piece of property out in Indiana. While relaxing after dinner, Jordan and Reagan were playing ball. Jordan kept trying to get Reagan to hold out her arms. It actually worked. Reagan caught the ball multiple times for Jordan tonight!

Yea Reagan (And Jordan!)

She called me Mommy

So I guess my name has changed - Reagan started calling me "mommy" tonight. And she called me that all night. It was cute. We all thought it was odd since she always calls me mama!

Ahhh my little stinky is getting older. Sniff!

Grocery store

TOnight, Reagan and I took off to go grab some food (and ice cream) from the store before dinner. I plopped her down in the cart and we took off walking around the store. The first thing we found was a watermelon. Yummy. Apparently Reagan likes watermelon, because as soon as she saw it, she screamed!!!! Oh my. So I asked her if she wanted it - yep she did. Then she was upset I didn't just put it in her lap.

Needless to say, we tried to eat healthy, but I think she and I both ate watermelon for dinner. Is that bad?

The Ultimate "Stall" Technique

To anyone that has gone through potty training a kid, they'll understand when I say that Reagan has figured out the ultimate stalling technique. It seems that the last few nights, just before we get ready to put her into her bed, she says "poopy??" and starts to crawl down off my lap.

This, of course, the first few nights, made me think - "sweet... she's figuring it out". Little did I know that she really didn't have any intentions to actually use the potty, she was using as additional play time. Hmmm.

Tonight, I finally got tired of it. It's so hard to know if she really has to go or not. So I fell for it - hook line and sinker. I got up and we went to the potty. She told me to "sit... and pee" (so I pretend) and then we hang out. Well, I hang out and she plays while pretending to pee.

Hmmm. SO I called the enforcer in (dad) and he said "All done!"

That was that!

I wanna hug!

Today, I got home from work before Jim got home with Reagan from their errands. When I saw Reagan, I asked for a hug and boy oh boy did I get one.

I picked her up and she wrapped both of her arms around me and laid her little head on my shoulder. Talk about one heck of a way to get rid of stress. She loves me!!!

The best thing ever... ever!
