Dora

Last night, I gave Reagan a Big Sister Dora dolly. I wanted to give her something last night to focus on since Jim and I were going "out of town" for two nights. (She's just staying with my parents actually.) I put it on her bed and put the twins on the pillows next to her bed. She walked in her room and saw the surprise dolly and smiled really big. She loved it. She immediately picked Dora up and started holding her and talking to her.

Then she realized that she had the twins too. That was way too cute. She pretended to feed and rock them while Jim and I read books to her. So cute.

At the end of the evening, we tucked the twins and Dora in. Then we tucked Reagan in. Yea!

Sleeping better

So tonight, it was my turn to put Reagan in bed. We had a bath and read books. To my surprise, she crawled into bed, said "mommy tuck me in and turn out the lights". That was it. No arguing, no singing, just done. Hmmm. I miss my snuggle time with my little stinker. Ugh.

Jim said that last night he got the same thing. She crawled up into bed on her own and just went to sleep. Wow.

But really? She's only 2.5. Do they really start now - I already miss her. Ugh. I'm a mush.

Little fishy

Tonight, we took the girls to the pool and went swimming. Jim and I bought Reagan a small vest and some swimmies to try. She did GREAT! She ended up, by the time we left, being able to float and kick herself to the side of the pool. Woo hooo!!! She was so happy with her new freedom. She was very very happy.

Potty training from hell today

Oh My Gosh! It's like we never started... :) She had so much trouble with the potty concept that I just couldn't believe it. She peed and pooped at my parents this morning while they were watching her. She peed twice on the floor at home. We went to the store today and just decided to use a pullup for safety. :) Cheating totally. But guess what - she was DRY when we got home. Holy Cow.

Needless to say, it was rough. But we know that happens. Better luck tomorrow.

Back-kak

Today, I picked Reagan up from school and she actually wanted to wear her backpack out of school. She did - and put it on all by herself. How cool!?

Potty Training Milestone

So today Reagan got a great report from school - absolutely no accidents! Woo hoo!! Way to go Miss Reagan.

So we started potty training last Monday. We are on Day 12 right now. She went five days without an accident. She was home sick with HFM, but still had zero accidents. We took her back to school on Day 11 and she had only poopy accidents. Then today, Day 12, she had none. Wow! I'm impressed how fast she caught on.

And let me tell you how proud she is! :)

Baby C is kicking finally

So Baby C is finally kicking. Last night, I was lying on the couch with REagan and she just started kicking hard. I actually felt it on the outside. I could watch my stomach move a few times. Very cool. I was starting to get a little worried about her, but she's just taking her time. Not surprising.
