Thinking of Others

Raegan had a physical this morning so that she could get cleared for her surgery (dental fillings) on Friday.  Besides her normal shyness around people she doesn't know, this was the best doctor's visit I think she's ever had.  (Possibly due to a little bribing went on before we went into the office, but I'll never tell)  She stood on the scale and weighed 29.2 lbs and stood up tall so the nurse could measure her height of 35 1/2 inches.  The doctor checked on her and her cough and decided it would be best if we rescheduled the surgery because of her cough, so we did. 

After her appointment she got to pick out 2 stickers for being such a good girl.  She picked up Dora right away and then seemed to have a hard time selecting the 2nd one with the doctor and I both encouraging Ariel, Cinderella, My Little Pony, etc... when to our surprise she picked up Spiderman.  Both the doctor and I were a little thrown off, but Raegan didn't say a word.  We checked out and on the way to take her to school she said, "Mommy I got Dora and Spiderman, a girl and a boy. Dora is a girl and Spiderman is a boy.  Dora is for me and Spiderman is for Jonathyn because Jonathyn likes Spiderman." We didn't get to school till after 9am so I figured all her classmates would already be in class and I was a bit worried about her taking in a sticker for only one friend.  However, we pulled in right after Jonathyn and as soon as she saw him, she practically jumped out of my arms to run and give the spiderman sticker to him before we even reached the front door of the school.  He was so happy and they ran off to play together on the playground and never turned back to say bye.

I'm thankful that she is such a sweet girl who is always thinking of others and who loves her friends.
