Reagan at 3

Last Thursday was Reagan's 3 year old well visit at the doctor and she did great!  Thankfully, there weren't any shots either :)  Bless her heart, she was giving herself an outloud pep talk as we pulled into the doctor.  "It gonna hurt just for one minute and then it be all over and Reaggie get a band-aid" (we've been talking about it)  We even brought some M&M's just in case as a "shot treat."  She still got the treats for being a good girl!

Everything looked great!  She is 39 pounds and is 39 inches.  Easy to remember!  She had to have her vision tested today, which was cute.  All I can say is thank goodness she knows her shapes...she would have been screwed if she didn't.  :)  We are so lucky to have a healthy, happy girl.  I am a mess and teared up in the car because I just was feeling so blessed.

I have been wanting to write down a few things about Reagan at this age, so I can remember.  She is such a mess, but I just couldn't love her more.  Sometimes I forget that she is only 3 because she can have such an intellegent conversation with me...it's pretty sweet.  I PRAY that we remain close and that she likes me as she gets older ;) ...maybe atleast most of the time?!

Some "Reaggie-isms"

* Whenever you ask her "how did you get so cute?" or "how did you get so smart?" Any sort of question like that her answer is "from God."  :)

* For the LONGEST time EVERY night and naptime she would request that I sing her "The Flower Song" and tell her what to dream about.  "The Flower Song" was made up one night in desperation and just kind of stuck, just to the tune of the itsy bitsy spider.  We would do three rounds of that and then I would tell her what to dream about, which was always about our beach trip.  Going to get donuts, playing on the beach, going to the boardwalk, getting ice cream...it was really starting to get old :)  Thankfully we have now moved on to classic songs, such as Twinkle Twinkle, ABC's, You Are My Sunshing, Mr. Sun...and back rubs and arm scratches :)

* Reagan is so sweet (99% of the time), she is usually very polite, she admits when she is going to be shy, she is wild, outgoing, sassy, personable, smart, stubborn, crazy...she is just a little nut!  She can be rough though, especially with her brother, however we figure that's good for him...toughens him up!

* She still says that her favorite song is "Dynamite" and requests to listen to that and "Knee Deep" pretty often in the car, obviously along with princess favorites and Humpty Dumpty :)  Poor Landon is going to know all the princess tunes before he knows The Wheels on the Bus...it will help get him all the ladies ;)

* Reagan loves to play with her figurines, the kitchen, legos, musical instruments, her babies, Barbies, doing crafts, cutting, playing outside, swinging, LOVES reading, watching tv...she is a pretty content girl and can easily find something to do to keep herself busy.  Her imagination amazes me!

* Lately she has been overkilling the "I'm sorry" card.  She'll push Landon down and then say "I'm sorry."  Seriously!?  If you were so sorry you wouldn't have done it in the first place...we're working on that.  She also always asks, "You happy Mommy?"  She already gets that if Mommy ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!

* I also love how she will say, "save that for me Mommy for when Reaggie get bigger."  If she likes anything of mine, jewelry, shoes, dress, shirt, pj's...whatever, she'll tell me to save it for her.  :)  Keep in mind that's not all that often since I'm usually in totally bummy clothes in which she will then ask me to raise my arms to see if I have holes in my t-shirt.  Some of those Phi Mu t-shirts from college have about reached their limit!

I'm sure there are so many other things, but this age is just so sweet and fun, most of the time :)  We love you Reaggie Mae and are so proud of you!!
