I need more days like this...

It has been a long couple of weeks full of lots of bad/sad news (more on that later, maybe) So yesterday I decided to do everything with Reagan. I wanted to spend time with her doing the things she loves. So I woke her up from her nap and away we went:

• She got a juice box and crackers in the car
• We stopped to see daddy at work where she got a sucker
• We played at a new park (new to her) in Ankeny with some friends for over an hour
• We ate supper at McDonald's- Chicken Nuggets, French Fries, Apples, and Orange Hi-C
• Sang songs in the car
• Stopped at Dairy Queen in Huxley and got a carmel sundae- Reagan fed me most of it, but was smiling and happy the entire time we were there. She talked to EVERYONE!
• Took a bath with LOTS of bubbles and water- spent extra time in the bath coloring with water crayons and making a big mess
• Played tea party downstairs
• Put stickers all over anything they would stick to
• Cuddled up in Reagan's bed and watched a movie

I needed this day. I am sure I needed it more than Reagan. She smiled, laughed, ran, ate good, and gave me lots of hugs...everything I needed to have!
