I recently enrolled Reagan into her first structured class. It is a 6 week class centered around a teddy bear theme. Several of her friends are in the class as well, Izzy, Everett, Abhi, and Annie. It seems we don't do much without them and I think that it's great!

Reagan's teacher is Ms. Jamie. She does a great job and Reagan is really enjoying the class. The teacher in me is really enjoying getting a glimpse of the type of student Reagan may be one day. On the first day of class she amazed me a show of confidence I rarely see in her. Ms. Jamie had the kids sit in a circle. She went around to each student and sang a welcome song using their name. As she went around the circle she asked each child to tell her his/her name. Reagan almost never answers a stranger when they ask her a question. So when she very proudly said "Reagan" I nearly cried. Having friends in the class made it that much more exciting. My friend Nicole, or Everett's mom, honestly looked just as surprised and excited. I LOVED being able to see that happen!

I can't wait to see how else she grows!
