New foods

Maddy loves table food. All you have to do is load her tray up and she will scarf it down in a matter of moments. Most of the food actually lands in her belly too. It's just amazing to me. We've tried all sorts of things - most of them she likes.

She loves meat sticks, fruits and cheerios. Tonight, we tried avocado. It was a huge hit - she ate four whole slices (probably close to a third of a whole one). I was impressed. I do remember Reagan not being fond of them. But Maddy just ate them up and asked for more. Love my little hungry girl.

Bottle and routines

Maddy has moved on in the last little bit. One significant item is the bottles. She's now down to five bottles a day. A big change, but the school finally embraced this change as I asked. The funny thing is now she is more than ready for a bottle at 5:30 pm. If I don't pick her up from school, the second she sees me, she starts fussing and crying.

She wants me and she wants a bottle. My girl is getting big.

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. :)
