No more Santa

Well, we've been wondering when it would happen. It did. Reagan finally asked the question "is there a Santa". Jim didn't lie to Jordan when she asked. He didn't lie to Reagan.

So now, we have a huge family secret that we must keep from Maddy. I'm kinda sad a bit. It is great she knows the meaning of Christmas. I love that. But it's the passing of time and that she's growing up. Sniff sniff.

My baby.

Halloween 2014

Well my girls went out as Elsa and Anna - big shocker for everyone out there.  They were perfectly set for this combo tonight. Reagan is the oldest and a blonde. Maddy is the younger one and a brunette. Perfect. They walked around together.

They were both super excited. Jim and Papa took them around. Maddy and Papa apparently were running from house to house. Jim stuck with Reagan. Maddy made it all the way down the street and back and called it a night. She was done. She walked in the house, found Mimi and called it quits. Wow

Reagan wanted to keep going. She and Jim took off while the rest of us handed out candy and watched some Halloween spooky shows. Reagan made it almost 90 minutes before she decided she was cold enough. I was pretty impressed. She actually came inside and said "I want to go back out when I get warm". I just smiled. She had enough candy and it was time to settle down.

Both of them were tuckered out from the full day. It was a successful fun time, as always.

Dresses

Maddy is obsessed with dresses and the dressy ones. I got all of her fall clothes - or shall I say dresses - and she won't wear any of them. She still wants to wear the sundresses. Today she had on her princess dress and yes she wore it to school. It's funny. She did this last year too. I had forgotten a bit, but she really hates dressing warm. But once she gets really cold, she'll give in. :)

Air quotes with a rhetorical question

Reagan has started using air quotes officially. I have no idea where she gets this from, but at least she uses them right. She's really cracking me up all the stuff she comes home with too - little sayings that kids start to learn (nothing bad) and just starting to be a little more grown up.

Oh and the rhetorical question is official. She's used it three times in the right way. That means it can get documented as something she knows. :) And yes, she uses it in the right way and only at funny times. I said something to Jim tonight and he answered. I wasn't really looking for an answer, but he answered the obvious answer. She said "dad, I think that was a rhetorical question" with her look of "duh" that she has perfected so well.

Love her.

Uh-oh

Reagan got in trouble at school. She darted out of the play area ahead of the teacher and (whoops) got in trouble. She got a note sent home - the head of the school was not pleased at all. :(

By the time I knew about it, she had already gone to bed. So I spoke to her this morning. She told me what happened. She didn't lie. I was so grateful and happy that she understood to tell the truth.

Proud mama (for the not lying part).

Green poop

Reagan had green poop this morning. Not just kinda green - electric green. Apparently she had a lot of blue frosting the day before. Wow was it bright :)
