Opposites

So after Reagan read the Opposites book to me, I thought I'd give her a different challenge. I wanted to see if she had just memorized the book, or if she was actually "reading" the page. She has in the past, been able to memorize a few books that we read repeatedly. She shocked me. Once we got through the first page, I flipped to a different page in the book and she knew that page too. So she's reading the page (or probably the pictures). But it's a pretty cool thing either way.

What the heck will she do next?

Amazing Grace

Reagan is learning the words to Amazing Grace. I put her in bed tonight and started singing to her and she started singing with me. How awesome is that?

Reagan read to me tonight

So tonight, we did our normal bedtime routine - bath, teeth and then books. Tonight, Reagan didn't want me to read to her, she wanted to read herself. She flat out said "get out" (meaning get out of the rocking chair) and proceded to climb up into the chair. Then she asked for the "pillow" and her "book".

Then she started reading. Of course, she made up the story and I only understood about a quarter of it. But all in all, I think she read me three books.

Then, she put me to bed. Ha!

Jim's home

Jim got home last night from his trip to Washington D.C. He was a chaperone on the 6th Grade Trip and got to hang out with Jordan all week. I can't wait to see pictures. That aside, I am enjoying some much needed time on the computer and loving the small, but needed break.

He's loving all the attention from Reagan. They're playing all sorts of games in the living room - hide and seek, computer, dora.

Blowing Bubbles

Over the last week or so, Reagan's been blowing bubbles in the tub fairly well. TOnight, Jim was hanging out with her during bathtime and she asked him to blow bubbles in the tub. Of course, he did. He stuck his whole face in the tub and blew. She giggled and followed suit - she blew bubbles.

Day Two without hubby

Last night, Reagan and I went to the cool toy store in Crestview to see what stuff we could get into. I found this really cool toy faucet that pulls the water from the tub so you don't have to run the water from the real faucet and waste a ton of water (and money).

I put it together after a few trips up and down the steps looking for batteries and a screw driver. I was WONDERFUL! Oh my. This thing pulls water up from the bottom of the tub and spits it back out. It's got some nifty cups with different types of holes in them. She had a blast. Matter of fact, she flipped out when I told her it was time to get out.

That was a really good $15 spent!

Wow - that's all I can say

My husband sent me a link to some guy on Letterman years ago. Maybe some of you remember him - Stevie Starr the Regurgitator?

Wonder what made him do this stuff?
