Reagan Digging for Treasure

Yesterday I told Reagan's teacher that she told me and Jo-Jo that he was mean to her sometimes. I thought he was really nice, so I said, "Really?" And Reagan said, "Because sometimes I don't do what I'm supposed to." So in Reagan's mind, she should never be punished, and if she is, then it's mean.

Anyway, I told her teacher about these comments, and he told me that she and her best friend Amber were rolling in the mud yesterday, but he stopped them before there was too much damage to their clothing. When I got down the hall to Reagan, I said, "I heard you were rolling around in the mud with Amber."

Reagan said, "I was not." And she seemed very angry. Then she proceeded to say, "I was not rolling in the mud. I was digging for treasure! I was not rolling!" Obviously her teacher didn't know what was going on.

Reagan also cracked me up when we got home today because she got out of the car on her own - usually I have to open the car door and unbuckle her and lift her out. I guess I don't need to now that she's 4! Anyway, she hopped out herself and said, "Look, mommy! I slammed the door me own self! I got out my own self!" She was so proud. I was on the phone with my friend Kristen at the time, and she wondered when Reagan had turned Irish.
