Born From My Heart

Happy Friday everyone!  I can't wait to play this weekend.  Not sure yet what exactly we will be doing although I hope to get over to LeeAnn's  for some play time on Saturday afternoon.  Then I have to schedule some time to get into my busting at the seams junk room to prepare for a yard sale.  NOT looking forward to that room but it will be so much better afterwards.  On Wednesday night, I took Reagan to Chick-Fil-A for dinner and to let her play in the play area.  She's still too small to climb up the tower - the platforms are spaced too high - and there were no other kids in there at the time so I let her climb inside the slide.  (my phone takes the worst quality pictures!) She would climb around the first bend, turn around and slide back down.  After a few times of this, I sat on one of the benches and started playing on my phone.  Next thing I know, I hear giggling and little feet running over my head.  That bugger managed ...

Yesterday we went to Aquatica for the first time this season. We went last year too and her favorite then was the Wave Pool. I would lean her back in her life jacket and sometimes the waves would put her to sleep. This year it was clear she didn't remember much from last year and she had some issues with the Wave Pool this time around - no more lounging on her back. She did have fun going down the baby slides in the baby pool and would 'weeee' the whole way down. After some lunch in the parking lot (good cost savings measure!), we went back into the park for more fun.  It was a very fun day with very good friends! Last weekend we went to Trotwood Park with some other good friends - LeeAnn , her husband Brian and their gorgeous babies.  It was a new park for all of us but we all agreed it is a really great park.  The kids ran around and climbed and swung and wore themselves out before we all went out to lunch.  It was so great to see them...

Reagan can be quite the little thief. She has a sense of what she can have and what she can't have and like any other little one - she wants what she can't have. Last night was an evening of no-no's. For instance, I had forgotten to put up her little airplane ride-on toy. She was watching Gabba while I was finishing up some work on the computer. I looked up to see her doing her ta-da pose again on top of it. Yup, standing on the seat of it with her hands straight up in the air. Her balance is amazing (thank goodness) and I had to sneak over to her in order to get her safely off. Airplane is now put up unless she is being supervised like a hawk. Since her stunt-mobile was gone she needed to find something else to get into. She came over to me and began reaching for my work area stuff - cell phone, blue tooth, work papers, computer cords, etc. As fast as I could move something out of her reach she would spy something else to try to grab. Then it became a game to...
