Playing the piano

My mom came over tonight to play with the girls a bit. We hung out in the basement for a while. Of course, my mom went to the piano and started playing some suzuki music for the girls. At one point, she had Maddy and Reagan up on the bench with her playing the piano. Reagan was trying her best to show Mads how to play with her fingers. Maddy wanted to just smack the keys. They were both happy. My mom was thrilled. I took pictures.

Grandparents Day

Today was Grandparents Day at Reagan's school. Both of my parents and Jim's dad showed up for her event. They did crafts and got to watch her do her dance class. I had sent six pictures into school with her. They used them to decorate a poster board with cutouts and other things. It was awesome.
And since my mom was there, the entire thing was captured on film. :)

Maddy's first snuggly

I bought Maddy two snugglies so she would quit taking Reagan's (and making her mad). Jim said when he showed them to her, she giggled. She grabbed them and immediately pulled them to her face and snuggled with them.

Hello Kitty

This weekend, I bought Reagan and Maddy matching Hello Kitty tshirts. This morning, I showed them to Reagan and she giggled with delight. She was so excited to wear Hello Kitty and to be dressed just like her little sister. I love it! :)

Will she walk?

Maddy is so close to walking. She is cruising around on everything she can  - tables, wall, toys you name it! Tonight, I almost had her walk away from the fan in the hallway. She had a look on her face that she might actually do it. Then she giggled and sat down. Ahhhh. I was hoping she would at least drop her hand. So close.

Writing her letters and numbers

It dawned on me tonight as Reagan was proudly writing her letters and numbers for me. She's only been in her new class for a few weeks and she can write all her letters and numbers very well. She's able to do so much in such a short time. What a smart kid.

She told us before her first day that she wanted to learn how to read and write. I know she's working on her sight words too. She is well on her way.

I can't wait to see how far she's grown by the time she is four!

Sleepy sweetie

Tonight marks the third night in a row that Maddy could not settle down and sleep. She cried out about 11pm tonight and just sounded so pitiful. We went upstairs to get her and she had a sad sleepy look in her eyes. Poor thing. She wouldn't go back to sleep, so I brought her down to the living room and finally got her comfortable on my lap.

She eventually dozed off. I must admit, it was quite nice holding my little girl. She's so snuggly. I just hope she starts to feel better soon.
