Happy Birthday today to my little Regan! She is two years old! And what a two years it has been. I love this girl more than words can say, but holy cow, is she ever something! Tod's mom always says that it was Tod who forced her to be a real mother (his older brother was an easy baby). That is so how I feel about Regan! She has forced me to take a hard look at myself, and her personality and needs have taken my mothering (and our parenting) to a new level. Things that worked with the other girls just haven't worked on her, and I have had to expand my ideas and try new things. She has taught me patience and endurance. Before she came along, I thought I kinda had the whole baby/toddlerhood thing figured out. Enter Regan...and I have felt like a beginner all over again. Even though some days have been challenging, I can't believe how much love Regan has brought to our family and to our marriage. I can't imagine our family without her.
Regan's Favorites at age 2: Her binkis ("ginkee"), keeping up with her sisters, doing somersaults, swinging, her best buddy Hayden, sleeping in our bed, saying "mine", "no" and "don't want to", all kinds of candy
Least Favorites: Bath time, bed time, getting buckled in her car seat, sharing
Since we had been gone all weekend, we decided to have a laid back family party at home. Regan was thrilled with the shopping cart we got her and kept running back and forth pushing it and saying "mine". We always use the Pooh Bear figures for 2nd birthdays.
