Highlights of the Day....

So Heidi Anne's daycare send us a cute story every day entitled "Highlights of the Day". Where they rely a story about what your child did during the day. Well, the last few weeks have had some pretty cute ones. (I love this about Susan-it lets working families still be there or know about those cute little things your child has said or done. Personally, it makes me feel like I was there for those moments and gives me more insight about Heidi Anne. Furthermore, it reminds me to be on the look out for those funny moments I might have otherwise taken for granted.

Today Heidi Anne was riding one of the little bikes and one of her friends said "Heidi you are getting SOOO big". She nodded back and said "Yeah, Heidi big now!" It was so cute to see how she just knew she was big now.

Mallorie (one of the teachers) brought her dog in to play with the kids for a few minutes. Heidi Loved the dog. He did tricks and Heidi Anne would try to get all the other kids to watch him. After the dog left more of the children in daycare returned from a trip. Heidi Anne tried to reenact the dog's tricks for them.

Heidi Anne to go to the bathroom. When she got there, the door was shut. She thought someone was in there (no one was) so she knocked on the door and yelled "HEY, you in there I need to go potty-so open the door." When she found out no one was in there she just giggled and said
"Oh, Heidi Anne's turn now." (She's funny!)
--Their words, not mine, but I agree is so super funny.

She's also a very caring friend, too. As these two stories show:

Heidi was so excited when she earned her 10th star today (after 10 stars they get a prize). When she was looking in the prize box she noticed that her friend wanted a prize too. She sweetly asked "Zoey, do you want one, too?" Then she tried to get Zoey a prize. She's such a thoughtful friend.

In addition to sharing her possessions, she likes to share her knowledge with her friends, as this little conservation Susan heard between Heidi Anne and Skylie, Heidi Anne's other "little sister"- (FYI, unlike Ana Rose the doll, Skylie is Susan's real life 2 year old daughter)

Heidi and Skylie were sitting at the table drawing. Heidi decided to give Skylie words of wisdom from her Dad. She went on to tell Skylie how her Daddy said that when your birthday comes you will get bigger, and bigger, and bigger, and then you have to sleep in your bigger bed. Then you can be big like Daddy. Then she went on to say "You happy now Skylie? You can be bigger on your birthday like my Daddy!" It was quite the conversation.
