My story

Five years of living life to the fullest

Hi! My name is Reagan Liman. I was born on 19 December 2020, six days before Christmas, which makes me a Sagittarius. My very first Instagram post said: “Hellow… my name is Reagan Liman.” I’ve been saying hello to everyone ever since.

Chapter 1 · 2020–2021

The baby years

I arrived on 19 December, six days before Christmas, and came home two days later, straight into a big hug from my koko, Arthur. My very first Christmas was spent wrapped in a blanket with my name on it, right under the tree.

At one month old there was a little celebration with cake, and before I was three months old I joined everyone in the big bathtub. I learned to sit up, practised tummy time, tasted my first slices of apple and was declared a “caviar baby” before my first birthday.

In December 2021 I turned one with a snowy polar-bear party and a lot of hugs.

Chapter 2 · 2022

Little explorer

2022 was the year I found my feet. In February Papa and Mama posted “Walking 101”, and soon I was off: to the beach in Bali with a yellow digger, cafe hopping with Mama and splashing around on an inflatable whale.

I met my first lava cake (love at first bite), fed a very friendly yellow bird and discovered that a plastic basin full of coloured water beats any expensive toy.

I turned two in December and welcomed 2023 at a kids club in Bali that stayed open past midnight.

Chapter 3 · 2023

Big boy adventures

In 2023 I watched a movie in our very own private cinema, visited the aquarium and flew to Japan in spring, where I waved a Mickey lollipop at Tokyo Disneyland and took in the view at Lake Toya.

I started toddler class in June and my first school in July, with a brand-new backpack and a blue cap. In December I performed on stage at my school show and threw a dinosaur party called “Reagan Park” for my third birthday.

Right after my birthday we flew back to Japan, where I touched snow for the very first time and soaked in a hot spring with Arthur.

Chapter 4 · 2024–2026

Growing up

In 2024 I splashed through my first rainstorm, stood under the Eiffel Tower in Paris, performed at the end of term and became a drift king on my ride-on car. I also shared my signature recipe: crispy chicken skin, nuggets and French fries.

I turned four with a blaster-battle party. In 2025 I explored the snowy Swiss Alps, dug in the sand in Bali, started kindergarten in July and dressed up as a firefighter. I turned five in December, and we ended the year with a family trip to Macau and Disneyland.

In 2026 I celebrated the Year of the Fire Horse, went back to Japan for a spring holiday and even made breakfast in bed for the whole family. Five and fearless!

👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 My family

The people who make every adventure better

I’m the youngest of the Liman family. Wherever we go, from the farm and the aquarium to Disneyland, Switzerland and Japan, we go together.

How my hobbies changed

Put together from five years of family photos and captions. Some things came and went, but a few never changed: anything with wheels, splashing in water and a very big appetite for snacks.

I was born six days before Christmas, so my first Christmas photo shows me wrapped in a blanket with my name on it.

I’m a certified dinosaur fan. My third birthday party turned into a whole dinosaur park.

French fries and potato skins? No waste! I finish every last piece.

Papa and Mama bought me fancy toys, but my favourite was a plastic basin full of coloured water.

As a baby I once fell fast asleep in my little yellow toy car.
