You’d think I would’ve learned when she spent the entire duration of Madagascar II running up and down the theater aisles. Or, when we had to leave Walking with Dinosaurs briefly while she had a terrible two’s meltdown. And then there’s chasing her around a gymnasium all summer in her gymnastics class… [...] [...] So anxious am I to start building Reagan’s memories with all that childhood has in store that I couldn’t wait until her attention span surpassed that of Dorothy the Goldfish to try taking her to a two-hour circus show.

Kids weren’t going to be allowed in the tent! After some back and forth it was decided that they could come in as long as we kept them in line and close at hand. My heart started to pound. I was the only one who dared bring a two-year-old and probably like most toddlers, she is not known for her faithful obedience.

Our spirited child will be 20 next Wednesday. She has her name on more than a few of my gray hairs, but she is pretty terrific, if I say so myself! She managed to keep her head on her shoulders all the way through high school, not falling in to the usually-absurd peer pressures or cliques, choosing her friends based on her own criteria, not the shallowness of the general school population. She's now entering her final year in college... graduating at 20. She's independent, creative, industrious, independent, generous, thoughtful, independent, frugal, and loves to cook. I can promise you that you'll NEVER be bored or run out of blog fodder :) Enjoy! Lucy Oh, a spirited child :) Welcome to the club!
