Reagan's Pre-School Graduation

A few weeks ago, at a play date one of Reagan's little friends cut her own hair while the two of them were playing unsupervised.

When this little girls Mom asked her if she cut Reagan's hair?  The little girl replied: "No, I kept trying to but she wouldn't let me"!

Oh, how I praised Reagan for not letting that little girl cut her hair!

I've been loving the fact that Reagan's hair is getting so long.

Not two days later, curiosity must have gotten the better of Reagan.

I walked in to the bathroom and discovered this:

She cut herself a nice chunk of bangs.

I think she looks better without bangs.  So, I've been trying to find ways to style her hair that camouflage the short part in the front.

I enjoy doing girls' hair.

Reagan hates having her hair done.

Elsa likes having her hair done.  But she doesn't have any hair to do.

The irony is not lost on me.

Oh, and I'm thinking about taking bets on how long it will be before Cohen's hair is longer than Elsa's.  Any takers?

I found a cute hairstyle on pintrest that I wanted to try out on Reagan.

It involved a lot of criss-crossing, and ended in pigtails.

I figured her pre-school graduation would be a good reason to try it out.

She actually sat still long enough for me to do it.

Too bad she didn't sit still long enough for me to get a good picture of my work.

The theme for the graduation was "The ABC's of Liberty".  Reagan actually participated, and sang the songs.  For the first 5 minutes....

After she went to the microphone and said her part, "F- is for the Grand Ole' Flag".  She was 100% done.

During the singing of the National Anthem, Reagan shouted: "Mom! Stop singing!".

When the song was done she complained loudly that she needed to go potty.

At least I can say that she always makes things memorable.

Cohen's opinion on the performances?  Obviously, "Meh.".

Nick's parents showed up to, (according to Bob Parr/ Mr. Incredible; anyway... ) "help us celebrate mediocrity".

We appreciated their support.

And actually, I feel like this first year of pre-school has done wonders for Reagan!  We do have a reason to celebrate.  She is so stinkin' smart; and now she's getting the focus to accompany it.  Her teacher is amazing.  I am so glad I found this pre-school.

I was a little worried about sending her back there next year, just because of some of the other kids.  But my worry is gone.  Reagan's best friend at preschool is a little boy named Cole.  He lives in Fruit Heights too.

Reagan has started telling me that she is going to marry Cole.

One of her recent quotes went like this: "Mom, I'm going to marry Cole.  I will wear a white dress, and he will wear a tie and a black shirt".

Cole is nice to her.  I like that kid.

Brian and Jenny were there too.

 And, of course...  Mom and Dad.

We love you, Reagan.  Keep up the good work, and we hope to be attending your graduation from BYU, or Duke, or UW someday in the future.  Any of those three schools will be acceptable.
