Good night

Tonight, Reagan was quite agreeable for the first time in a long time around bedtime. She had a nice bath and didn't put too much of a fuss getting out. She let me read to her and then even said "I love you Mommy" as I left her room. That was it. So strange. I can't remember the last time she didn't pull me down or hold onto me and beg me not to leave. I can't remember the last time she just went to sleep.

And now I'm down her in pure silence. No begging to go back to bed. Could it have been that easy... or was she that unhappy. Wow!

Last Day of Preschool

Today, Reagan had her last day of preschool. She went to Goddard for two years and had a great experience there. This morning, she woke up happy, giggle, smiling and just the best I've seen her in months. She was eager to get ready and happy about her day.

We had a wonderful morning together. She was helpful getting Maddy up and ready. We went to Remke's - I let her pick out treats to bring to school - rice krispie treats and busken cookies. She bounded into school with me and was so excited.

She had a great day! She had fun wit her friends and played all day. When I went to pick her up, she said "Mommy, is it really my last day"? I said yes. She sighed and said "But Paige will miss me, I need to stay".

It hit her a bit on the way home I think. She had asked again if she was going back. It made her a little sad, but she just keep giggling and laughing.

I think it won't hit her for a bit. I'm excited for her new opportunity. I'm a tad sad that she won't be at that school anymore, but excited she will be doing something else for a bit.

Maddy's the Boss

Apparently, she put Dora in a spot today at school and said "sit dora" and walked a way a few steps. then she looked back and said "don't move". Wow.

Last week at school

Reagan has actually had a slightly better week this week at school. I don't know if it is because every thing is so low key, or if it's because she's leaving. Either way, she seems to be doing better. Every time I bring it up, she just seems happy that it might be over soon. I'm hoping that she really enjoys her new school.

Maddy and the microphone

Reagan found her microphone and pulled it out of the toy closet. She got it all set up only to discover that Maddy wanted to play with it. It's a good thing she had already gotten bored with it. Maddy took it over quickly and basically ate the microphone. She shouted into it, wiggle her butt and had a blast singing. It was cute to watch.

She then started obsessing with where the microphone was located in the bonus room. She started picking it up and carrying it all over the place. Not one location would work. She'd let it sit for a while and dance and sing and then almost as fast as she put it down, it was back up in her arms.

Every once in a while, the stand would come out of the base. She actually was able to get it back on. Interesting.

Ride'em cowboy

Today, Jim went with Reagan's classroom to the Northern Kentucky Horse Park. She did everything - rode horses, brushed them and played. The one thing that she snubbed her nose at was mucking stalls. (That's my girl). he hee. I'm glad she didn't actually.  Apparently there was zero fear while riding the horse. I'm so happy she just goes for it!

Coney Island

Jim took Reagan over to Coney Island today. Apparently we have a little dare devil on our hands. She tried every roller coaster that she was allowed. She road the twister, bumper cars, ferris wheel, pirate boat and a few others. She'd giggle when on a ride and said that it "tickled her tummy".

They also mined for gold and had a ton of really bad carnival food. She was reluctant to try the fried dough, but eventually admitted she like it. She loved the cotton candy, of course.

When she got home, she was happy as heck. I love seeing her smile. It just makes my heart happy.
