An update on daughter #1, formally known as Raegan

She is doing great. Raegan is still in the PreK Pals program in my school district. She loves it and has learned so much. She is now able to write and recognize all letters. She knows all of their sounds. She is starting to read sight words and is really interested in learning. Raegan has also become a great 'Pal' to the special needs students in her classroom. She talks all the time about how wonderful the morning and afternoon friends are doing. She sees old friends (that have moved to more restrictive classrooms) and says hi to them, then reports all of this to me. She is definitely a Johnson as she loves helping other kids.

Here she is at her school rodeo.

And racing at the Rodeo (she says she won because she is so fast but I don't know if this is a fib or not).

Raegan also started soccer again this year. She has been quite the player the last 3 games. She really likes playing and seems to get it. And we all know that she is not a shy child so she is quite aggressive on the soccer field. She has expressed some interest in playing indoor soccer. If I can handle the practices and games once the babies come, I will enroll her in indoor. And eventually we will switch to a club soccer team. Because well, mom isn't happy with rec so far. LOL!

Raegan also continues to do gymnastics and loves it. She isn't afraid of anything, which is wonderful because she tries everything they ask her to do and is usually successful. No back flips or anything like that yet! Why don't I have any pictures of soccer or gymnastics? Who knows. I'll try and get some.

Last thing about Raegan, she is very excited about the babies. She loves to help me pick out clothes for them (good lord we need to stop shopping!). She also likes trying out all the swings, bouncers, and exersaucers by getting her big girl self into all of them. Most of the time I have to get her out. Anyway, here she is practicing for the twins. She will be a great big sister!
