Loves Arnav

Maddy can't stop talking about Arnov. Apparently she really enjoys him. She wants to do playdates with him all the time and even wants to do a sleep over. How funny is that? She told us today that Arnov was her first boyfriend and that she had a middle and a third boyfriend too, but they weren't as important. I'm so glad she has her priorities :)

Really cool thing

Part way through the day today, we got an email from the girls school about Reagan. She had been helping (teaching) one of the kindergarteners and had been doing very well. She apparently does great job explaining works and how to use them. Such a proud moment. I love seeing how good she is with other kids and helping.

Headstrong

My oldest is quite headstrong. She has very specific ideas about how things are supposed to be. It's fun to watch but can be hard to handle sometimes. Tonight, she worked hard to get her bricks set up. Maddy hit one of them by mistake and she had a complete meltdown. It was so hard to watch. Her emotions are right on the edge at all times. She is getting better, but sometimes we all need a little break. She usually can take some time in her room and then come out refreshed. Tonight, she actually let us take her baby rail off of her bed. When we got it off, she said "wow it makes my bed look so different." Yes it does. I'm so proud of her for trying. Love her.

Little Gymnast

Maddy is obsessed with wearing her gymnastics leotards. It cracks me up. Today, she put on Reagan's old one and played all day. She decided today she would make envelopes and crafts for her friends at school. She has two boyfriends apparently - Chase and Arnov. Arnov is always first though. :)  Later today, we hung out in the basement. Her Barbies decided they were going to the zoo. The zoo was made up of cardboard blocks that she had set up near her toy box. I think she had every doll she owns lined up and "playing" in the zoo area. It was sweet to watch her - so precise and particular about how things were set up. She even had full conversations that were fun to listen to.

Gymnastics girls

Reagan loves her gymnastics. She had her second lesson today and came home smiling. She was able to ring the bell because she mastered something. She was able to get her hands down onto the balance beam for the first time on one leg. So proud of her.

While Reagan is in classes (Maddy has to wait). Maddy loves to practice at home. She has been putting on her leotard for weeks and wanting to workout with me daily. She gets on the mat and will do all sorts of summersaults and fun stuff - her exercises. :) Love watching her have fun.

Catching butterflies

The girls have such an imagination. They both grabbed their bug nets tonight and proceeded to catch butterflies in our living room. I don't recall seeing any in the house, but ya know... it happens. I had a cage for them with two doors. They ran around screaming until they caught one. They'd then show it to me and then keep going. Sometimes they were too big for me to keep. They'd have to put those back.
So cute and fun... and loud.

Lost another tooth - really?

Tonight, the girls and I were hanging out in the basement. Reagan walked into the bathroom and walked back out with a weird look on her face. "Mom, should I have lost another tooth already?" and handed me a tooth.  What the heck?
