An interview with my firstborn

Me: What's your name?
R: I'm Cinderella. (She's wearing her blue "Cinderella" dress)

Me: What are you doing?
R: Um...I'm juuuuuust....dancing because I'm Belle and you're Gaston and we take a walk and I'm reading and you say "Bell, why are you reading?" (all in one breath)

Me: Wow! That sounds like a lot of fun! How old are you, Reagan?
R: I'm two. I am!

Me: When's your next birthday?
R: June 2nd, right now! Mom, when is my birthday coming? I'm starting to turn three!

Me: Yes, you are! You're getting so big. What are you going to do when you turn three?
R: I need to do something like tell you a secret. (Whispers in my ear) I need to play and, um, I need to feed my fish because my fish is SO starving.

(we take a break to feed her fish "Flower" that I thought for sure would be dead a year ago.)

Me: What's your favorite thing to do, Reagan?
R: I really love playing playdoh and...I like singing and you and daddy listen.

(this is very true. Singing to an audience is her favorite thing to do right now. At home, in the grocery store, at church - during the sacrament, etc. She's not particular about the location as long as she has an audience. Her favorite thing to do is fake vibrato.)

Me: What's your sister's name?
R: My sister's name is Sissy and Ember. She's a baby.

Me: That's right! She's growing up. She loves to play with you!
R: Yeah...she does!

Me: What kinds of things do you and sissy like to play together?
R: She turns the music loud and I tell her to turn it down but she doesn't know how because she's a baby!

Me: So, do you help her?
R: Yeah, I say "Mommy, come turn it down!"

Me: Oh, really? And do you say please?
R: mmmmmm (humming - and then getting distracted with a long string attached to her dress...sounds about right. We're working on manners)

Me: Well, it was really great talking with you, Reagan!
R: I talk and I sing and let's read my book about Ariel and Prince Eric and she loses her voice just like YOU, mom!

(My voice is currently just a whisper due to an unpleasant virus, but Reagan thinks it's really great because Ariel loses her voice in the "Little Mermaid" movie...I tell ya, that girl lives in her imagination. I have to call her by whatever princess she happens to be pretending to be at the time, or else there are SERIOUS consequences.)

I hope you enjoyed this glimpse into the wonderful world of Reagan!
