This week Raegan had her V.I.P. day at school, she had been waiting for her turn for months. It was my job to make her a poster and come to her school and talk about Raegan. We also read a book to the class and did the tooty-ta dance.
The second I walked into her classroom, until school got out Raegan was smiling ear to ear, she did get embarrassed at first when I started talking and she buried herself in my lap while I talked, after a few minutes she warmed up and even sang her favorite Alvin and the Chipmunk song to the class, and pulled funny faces to show them how she gets Macy to laugh.
It was so much fun to be apart of something that was so important to her at school. It was obvious that Raegan is a well liked girl in school. I had little girls coming up to me in her class and asking if they could come to our house to play with Raegan, or asking for our number to invite Raegan to their houses. A boy asked me if she could ride in his moms van and he would take her home. Even after we came home a girl in her class had her mom stop by our house to pick Raegan up to play at park.
At night she prays about different kids in her class and asks to become better friends with the kids she doesn't know as well, or to be able to play with them at recess. I'm sure her prayers are answered.
A few weeks ago she came home form school and said, "Mom, during recess Emily was being mean to Ethan so I said, 'It's okay Ethan, I'm Strawberry Shortcake, I'll be your friend!', wasn't that so nice of me?" I have no idea where the whole Strawberry Shortcake thing came in, but it was still cute.
