Random Reagan Stories

Reagan seems to have a bit of OCD. She is obsessed with things being closed . . . cabinet doors, drawers, the toilet, etc. She goes around the house closing them all. If she's in her high chair and can't close them herself, she says, "Close it. Close it, please." Repeatedly. Almost as if it hurts her that they are open..

She has also started talking a bit like Yoda. When she's having trouble closing a drawer, she says, "Close it not. Help!"

Reagan likes to hide things, or put them where she can't see them - like turn them around or put something on top of them. And say, "Baby go?" or "Elmo go?" Then pull it out and say, "Here she is. I find her!" She also likes to put a little pink princess bucket on her head and say, "Reagan go?" or "I lost her!" Then pull it off and say, "I find her! Here she is!" She thinks this game is hilarious!

Reagan's new favorite thing is "Hairspray". Not the product, the movie. I put it on last week because I thought she'd like the music & dancing. She really seemed to enjoy it, but I hadn't really thought about it again. Then, yesterday morning, she asked to watch it. We watched part of it before going to the gym. On the way to the gym and home from the gym, all I heard was, "Hairspray back on. Hairspray back on." That is all she's wanted today too. For now, she's forgotten all about Elmo. It's all about Hairspray. She says, "Tracy dancin'," "Tracy go?", "'Cited!" (excited) She loves it! And, I'm enjoying a little break from Elmo.
