Breakfast and Yes Mom

This morning, I asked Reagan to come to the table to eat dinner. She looked up and said "okay mom" and came to the table. Really? What happened to my daughter? :)

First day of PreK-2

Today was Reagan's first day in PreK-2. This is the step before kindergarten at her school. Sigh. I was fine. I was actually excited until I started talking to her teacher. She said "we're getting her ready for next year" and my heart sank. Ugh. Next year my baby girl will be in school potentially. Wow. Where did the time go? I can't imagine her being old enough for that. But she is.

I told the teacher her deep desire to learn how to read. She said they were really focused on reading and writing this year. Good. She's asking every day. Guess I'll be making a trip to the library this weekend for some easy readers.

I actually teared up today.

Rash on her legs

Tonight at mom and dad's house, I noticed a rash on Maddy's legs. It was on her chins and it seems to be a reaction from the carpeting. Her skin was much rougher there and I have started to wonder how sensitive her skin really is. I'm hoping with some cream and tlc that it will be just fine.

Drum set

I just went upstairs to check on Reagan. I kept hearing a "clicking" or "tapping" noise and couldn't figure out what it was. So I opened her door and apparently she had set up a drum set in her room. It was made of Dora books and lincoln log pieces. She had a book set up at every corner (probably 10 of them) and was just going to town. How do you get mad at that?

I just turned on the video camera and made record of it. After she was done playing her song, she gave me the salute! I love it.

When I asked her to go to bed, she told me she was too busy. Yes, yes she was. :)

Awesome creativity at almost 10pm. :)

I want to read

Reagan has said it before to me, but tonight, she told her Daddy she really wanted to learn how to read. :)

Fourth tooth already

Here fourth tooth is popping through this morning.

Ride to the park

Tonight I took both Maddy and Reagan to the park in one stroller for the first time. Maddy did quite well considering she had never ridden in the stroller like that before. Reagan held onto her hand. We walked all the way to the park, both kids got out and ran around great. When we first got there, Mom and I put them in the swings. Maddy just giggled out loud. She loved it. Reagan wanted to swing next to her sister.

After the swing set, Maddy crawled around and pulled up on all sorts of stuff. Reagan ran around and did her usual stuff - played on the rings, slides and climbing things. After about 30 minutes, it was time to pack up and head home to make dinner.

I got a nice little workout as well. Pushing 60+ pounds in a stroller was hard work. :)
