Ms Attitude

Wow, I have my hands full with Reagan. She is so head-strong and smart. I have a hard time knowing how to handle her at times. She processes everything that is said and done around her and she incorporates it back into her speech and mannerisms. I laugh because I realize how much she mimics me. I am horrified at times with what I do. :) She's the perfect mirror of what she sees.

I used to get mad because I was told I got my "looks" from my mother. Reagan gets her "looks" from me. It is no wonder.

Go fish

Jordan taught Reagan a new game today - Go Fish. She loves it. She played with her for over 30 minutes today. Anything that is a matching game, she loves. I think she may have created a card monster.

Reading

Reagan has been asking to read more lately. She keeps telling me "but mommy I can't read that and I want to". I keep showing her sight words, but I don't think she is learning fast enough. Interesting to me.

Violin

Reagan is doing great with violin. Today we had to go to the teacher's home for her lesson. Reagan did great. She played and followed along with her teacher very well. I was so happy. I even got video of her playing along.

Hopefully next week she will keep doing better.

Sippy cup already

We tried a sippy cup about a month ago and Maddy didn't seem that interested in it. Jim gave her a sippy cup with formula on Saturday and she took a little bit from it, but not 100% interested in it.

Last night, she was up all night. Every time she got up, she drank a whole bottle. So after 8 bottles in under 24 hours, I thought I'd try a splash of juice in a sippy cup.
She loved it. Wow!

Going to the doctor

Maddy went to the doctor today. She's got a bad cough and seems a tad "off". She also has a dinged up toe. The good news is that the doctor said her ears looked good, but that she probably had a cold. So he gave us a script and said to give it to her towards the end of the week if she was worse.

She got worse. I took off at 6:30 PM to get my hair done. Jim called at 7:15 and said she had spiked a fever of 102.5 and that she was miserable. He called my mom for hep and I hurried home as soon as I could.

We gave her meds and she is still restless. I'm hoping that she sleeps all night.

Maddy's toe

Maddy's toe is messed up. Poor thing. We noticed her nail a few days ago - it was "bunched up" toward the cuticle and an off yellow color. Today she seemed to be favoring her foot by walking on it sideways.  The closer I looked, it seemed that her nail is actually separated from the back of her nail bed and had bled a bit. I'm wondering if it will fall off. Guess I should take her to the doctor on Monday.
