Potty

We are still not real great on the whole potty thing. She'll go for days without an accident, and then she'll have days where she'll have multiple at a time. Ugh. So hard. I'll be glad when she gets it figured out.

Yellow Belt

She graduated tonight to yellow belt. It's just an awesome thing. Sensei invited her to come into the bigger kid class to get her new belt. It was fun to watch. She kept looking at all the other bigger people (kids and adults) - just looking. I wondered what was going through her head. But she kept up. She did really well. Mimi & Papa were able to make it for the graduation.

She was able to get her belt off and walk over it. She turned around at first and we all giggled because she was supposed to be facing all the Senseis. It was cute. She got turned around the right way and went through the graduation. She was so happy to have the belt tied on. I was so proud. :) Jim was on the floor with her when she got it. I'm sure he was proud as well.

Playing Montesorri

Reagan played Montessori tonight. I guess that means that she is finally getting into the swing of things at school and is accepting things a bit more. It kinda sounds like she's been assimilated... maybe she has. But I think she's a much happier kid overall. She has far less tantrums, is easier to work with and honestly seems more creative. I love watching her grow up.

The pony tail lives

She is now proudly wearing her pony tail ever day. She no longer wants a top knot. She wants a low pony tail. Most days she won't even wear a bow in her hair. She looks so grown up now it's hard to believe she's almost five.

All grown up

My little Reagan is getting so grown up. She picked out her own outfit at the store last week. I washed it and today she's in it. Pony tail and bow. So grown up. Sigh... What am i going to do with a little lady. :(

Becoming so expressive

I had a neat talk with Maddy's teacher today. She said that she was becoming much more expressive and better at communicating what she needs. I could agree 100%. Maddy is really good at saying what she wants. She speaks clearly and the words she's not solid with yet, we've figured out.

She loves to play mommy with her Dora doll. She carries her around like she is her baby. She even puts Dora in her cubby to sleep. It's way too cute.

When other kids do something she doesn't like, she is able to communicate well with them. At home, she immediately throws a temper tantrum. That's expected. But she's too cute when she does it.

I love Pawpaw

Jim asked Maddy tonight "do you love Daddy" and she responded with "I love PAW PAW" just like a song. She said it like that all day. I guess she does.
