Four years ago I sat in the hospital holding my 8lb 4oz baby Raegan! She has brought so much joy to our family. I really can't believe that it has been 4 years, thats crazy! I thought that since Raegan is four I would share 4 things about her:
1. She is such a great big sister. She does so well with Macy and is always so concerned with Macys happiness. I feel as if she is a second mom to her. She is always telling me how cute Macy is and she hugs her and says, "Your so cute, were going to keep you forever." When we leave the house Raegan is overly concerned that we may leave Macy behind. I'm constantly reminding her that we haven't left Macy yet, and were not leaving her this time either.
2. IMAGINATION! This girl has the greatest imagination. I love to hear her thoughts and watch her play because her imagination is incredible.
3. She is compassionate. It upsets her when other children get hurt or have hurt feelings. This of course is even more so the case when it comes to Macy and her feelings. If Macy cries, Raegan is jumping and dancing all over the place to make her feel better and get her laughing. Raegan is also heartbroken if she hurts anyones feelings and I bring it to her attention.
4. She has great leadership skills. Both her primary teachers and preschool teacher have told me that Raegan is a born leader. She is in charge of the class (that's not always a good thing). Her preschool teacher told me that sometimes Raegan has to be reminded that she's not the teacher. I'm sure this will be a great and scary quality when she gets older. I'm a little afraid for those teenage years.
I have been telling Raegan for months now that when she turns four she can no longer suck her thumb. The night of her birthday when I put her to bed I reminded her not to suck her thumb and she said, "Yes I can, the party's over now." I told her shes still four and can't suck her thumb. She started crying and said, "I don't want to be four anymore!"
We adore Raegan and even if she's somewhat of a drama queen at times we'll still keep her. We love her so much and are thrilled she's apart of our family!
This is Raegan's birthday. She was allowed to invite 4 fellow princesses to come help her celebrate. They passed Snow Whites posion apple around. If the music stopped and you were holding it, you had to pretend to take and bite and fall asleep. They also looked for Cinderellas glass slipper, and decorated magic wands. I think the party was a hit and all the princesses had a good time.
