Week 5
More progress has been made! At the doctor's appointment this week, he was pleased with how well Greg could straighten his hand, but said he needed to work on bending his joints a little more. Next check up in 3 weeks.

It's Getting Cold Outside
Fall is in the air around here. This week, we've had to bring out the new jackets and start wearing pants and long sleeves.
I'm surprised how easy it was to get them to wear jackets
Behavior Balls
For the past 4 weeks, Greg & I have tried a new behavior "program" with Reagan. We wanted to encourage/reinforce good behavior and reward her for it. Every time she shares, doesn't whine when being told to do something, does something after only being asked to do so once, does her homework, no time outs at school, etc, she gets to put a ball in the jar. Once the jar is filled (about 200 balls), she can pick a prize from the prize box. The first prize she has been working toward is the Wedding Barbie and Ken dolls. Today, the jar was finally filled (thanks Ms Connie for behaving at school!) and Reagan got her prize!!
Putting the last ball in the jar
The jar is full!So proud of her prizesAdmiring her new toysShe even got some bling-bling for herself
She played with these dolls all night
I told her to hold them like they were getting married and she turned them as if they were kissing each other! Reagan said they were getting married because she wanted a baby in her belly and you have to be married to do that!Let's hope the next prize out of the prize box is as successful as this one!

Sweet Surprise
Today for my birthday, Greg and I spent the entire day together. It started with a trip to the doctor's office for a follow up appointment for him, and then he made the rest of the day all about me! We went to lunch and then shopping where Greg bought me a couple of new suits for work.
When we got home, Greg, Reagan & Cooper had a surprise birthday party waiting for me!

Reagan picked out a "Birthday Princess" crown just for me.
Reagan said I was the birthday princess, she was the princess and daddy and Cooper were just boys!

Super Saturday
Our Saturday was extremely busy this week. We started off the day at the IHOP for our weekly family date (if you remember, these started out as daddy/daughter dates, but Reagan decided she likes the whole family to go out with her) and then we ran some errands. Next, Reagan and I went to a party at my friend Crystal's house and then on to grocery shopping. Later, we went to the Science Center and saw the Spider Monkey exhibition. And last, but not least, we went to our friends' Duane and Jessica's house for a TN vs. FL football party. Here are a "few" pictures of our day.

Here is Reagan and Alex (Crystal's baby) She loved rubbing his head just as much as she loves doing this to Cooper I prayed and prayed for this baby before he came into the world. Reagan said she would like to take him home so Cooper could be a big brother.
