Happy Birthday, Reagan!!

She's a Mama's girl

and my biggest fan

a tender heart and a sensitive soul

 

She's grown up with two teenage sisters and can carry on a conversation way above her age...sometimes to my chagrin :/

She's also pretty good at giving those teenage sisters a run for their money...she can sas with the best of them

She loves ICarly, Big Time Rush, Victoria Justice and Justin Bieber...as well as Spongebob Squarepants

She is frightened easily and needs desperately to know that whoever is in charge of her is really in charge and is going to protect her from robbers. (No, we have never been robbed)

 

She likes to do things for herself...and to do those things PERFECTLY

Her shoestrings must be exactly the same length and tied exactly the same way...and heaven forbid, don't forget to make them lay flat after triple knots are tied...

Sock seams must also line up perfectly across her toes...or else.

She likes to cook with me, and our Spring/Summer garden is just as much hers as it is mine...I honestly don't know which one of us gets the most pleasure from it ;)

She likes lizards (very small ones) and frogs...but is horrified of snakes and salamanders (salamanders look like snakes)

She is a shopaholic, more than even her sisters ever dreamed of being...she can go to the Gymboree website, choose her selections and sizes and load a cart...no, she does not have access to our debit cards :p

 

She's a card shark...UNO is her current favorite...along with Old Maid and Go Fish...The Head of My Household mostly plays cards with her, but she can sometimes rope the teenagers in as well.

She also may be the most creative of the bunch...she has free reign of scissors, paper, glue, crayons, markers, computer/printer, paint, etc. and has never once used any of these items in inappropriate ways (she cut her hair once...but her bangs did need trimming ;)

She can put together some of the wildest outfits you've ever seen and LOVES boots in Winter and flip-flops in Summer.

She is my baby...and I cannot imagine life without her.

Happy Birthday, Reagan!
