Missy Reagan at 4 :)

This post is going to be a about some of the things Reagan is doing and enjoys as she turns 4 years old. I may be a bit biased (surely not!) but I do think Missy Reagan is one special little girl. She can read practically anything and has really gotten into Math lately which she is also turning out to be pretty good at. She can count by 2's to 20, 5's and 10's to 100, knows how to multiple 10's and 11's and can add any single digits (example 10+6=16). The other day she did a math quiz in one of her books and amazed me. She had 18 problems like the one listed above and she completed it (entirely by herself) in 6 minutes only missing 2 (which she quickly corrected once I reviewed it and pointed out the ones she missed). Reagan has an especially good memory. I'm including a couple of videos of her just before turning 4 reciting a couple of poems as well as at her violin recital. Reagan enjoys creating things. This is especially true of drawing/painting or any activities that allow her to create/put together outfits. She also loves dressing up like a princess and would probably wear nothing but her princess clothing if given that option. She is definitely our little princess! Reagan is also a super sweet and a wonderful and caring big sister. Reagan loves spending time playing with her best friends or anyone she can find to talk too. She is truly related to her Great Grandpa Carlson and Great Grandma LaBar and has never (and I mean never) met a stranger in her life! She has grown so much in the last year in thinking about other people's feelings and controling her temper. Reagan has one of the most intense personalities we know and she is most certainly intensely loving! We are so proud of you Missy Reagan and can't wait to see how you continue to grow!
