The Girl At Eight

Boating with a Friend

Reagan's friend Elyza comes up to visit every year from way down south (somewhere... I'm not entirely sure where?  Somewhere with a twang!)  They spent the day together, and thoroughly enjoyed each other's company!!

Growing Up: New Skill Edition

Reagan asked me to teach her how to curl her hair.  She did a beautiful job!  Her hair being what it is (thin, straight, and fragile), thanks to that heritage from her mother, the curls did not last more than five minutes.  But they sure looked cute for those first few moments!

Summer Crafting

Reagan is my little crafter.  She got it in her head that she MUST make a bunny out a sock, and, given that I remember doing the same thing when I was her age, we made it happen. 

End of the School Year

Reagan wrote this letter to give to her teacher on the last day of school today. 

I was really glad that Reagan did not purposefully flunk 2nd grade in order to get Mrs. Bostwick again.  Then I asked her about her last year's teacher, Mrs. Gillis.  "I thought you said Mrs. Gillis was the best teacher in the universe!"  Reagan thought a moment, and then said "Mom, this letter is to Mrs. Bostwick.  You have to know who you're talking to.  If you're nice to your teacher, they're nice to you."

Good thinking, kid!
