Career Day...Roar


Today was Career Day in Reagan's class.  They've been working all week on writing a paper they would present to the class and their parents.  Every paper began with "I have a dream to be..." and they filled in the rest.  There was a cop, nurse, doctor, event planner, pro soccer player, worker man, teacher, Navy guy, and many others.  The class was so creative.

Reagan has a dream to be a teacher
 unfortunately, the video didn't take, but trust me ~ she was precious!
 Cooper was a big hit today in his class with his dinosaur shirt
 he chased all the kids, teacher, and parents around saying ":roar"

Double the Homework

Last week, Cooper was moved into a new class at school ~ he's now with the kids who will be in kindergarten with him (I can't believe I just typed that!  In 18 months, my baby boy will be in school.)  They are working on learning their letters.  This week's letter is "O".  And for the first time, he had homework ~ practice writing the letter "O" and color the animals whose name begins with the letter "O".

a boy hard at work
 he took his homework very seriously
 precious hands
 such concentration
 the finished work - he wrote the "COO" and I helped with the rest of his name.  All the other "Os" on the paper are all his!
 He colored the otter, ostrich, and the octopus ~ pink and purple "just for Reagan"
 while Cooper worked on his homework, Reagan did some art for Valentine's Day
Sweet Reagan story~
Mom: Reagan, do you know how much I love you?
Reagan: With all your heart!  Do you know how much God & Jesus love us?
Mom: How much?
Reagan: More than you'll ever know!

Girl Scout Camp

Schools were closed for the MLK Holiday, so Reagan decided she would like to give the Girl Scout Camp a try.  She was so excited about going ~ she was hoping she was going to be able to sell cookies today and be able to wear a uniform.  Sadly for her, that didn't happen today, but she did make lots of crafts and many new friends.

such a big girl going to camp where she didn't know anyone
They must have talked about what they wanted to be when they grow up at camp because this is the conversation that we had when I picked her up~
Reagan:  I'm going to marry Bryson when I grow up.
Mom: You are?
Reagan: Yes, and I'm going to stay home with the children while he goes out and tells people about Jesus everyday.
Mom:  That sounds wonderful.  What are you going to do when the children go to school?
Reagan:  I guess I'll get a job.
Mom:  What kind of job are you going to get?
Reagan:  I think I'll be a teacher.

How sweet that she and her "husband" want people to know about Jesus!  I'm so proud of her!
