Park!!!

Maddy loves to go to the park. Any time we go for the car, she tells us she's ready to go to the park. It cracks me up. She says "paa-aaarrrrrrk"! She doesn't care how call it is either, she just wants to get out there and play. She can navigate most of the stuff by herself. She is a bit of a dare devil so I have to be careful not to turn my head away too much or she might jump off the top or something crazy like that.

She has almost walked down the tallest slide a few times. I have to tell her "NO" as loud as I can. She just giggles at me. Geez.

ABC song

She's actually got the whole song down...

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. :(
