I Just Want to Grow Up

In case you haven't noticed, Heidi Anne loves to feel like a "Big Kid", she often tells people "I'm 5!". She's very smart and listens most if the time. There are times where I even forget she's just getting out of the "Toddler" age group. She is just so eager to learn and do an anything a grown up or older kid can do. Her preschool has homework assignments once a week. I love this because it helps the kids and the parents to be ready for school when you have nightly homework assignments. For Heidi Anne, homework once a week just isn't enough. To keep her stimulated and the love of homework alive we got her a Kindergarten workbook, (it's pretty much the type of book people use to home school kids). She has a blast doing extra homework.

She loves to be involved with anything and everything. If we are working on making lists or paying bills, she'll sit by us or on our lap,she will then "write" with us.She does this at pre-school as well.

She loves to work on my sewing projects with me, from picking the fabrics, the patterns, the thread. While I am sewing she will either watch me sew from a chair and sit on lap while I work. Sometimes we sew for an hour or more. The whole time we talk, just random kid things, or we sing songs. She loves our "Sewing Time."



Have I ever mentioned how much I love her daycare / pre-school. The older kids always include her in their activities or games. Since she doesn't have older or younger siblings, I personally think it's the sweetest thing ever how the older kids include her without hesitation,  just the sweetest thing ever. She already knows how to ride her bike (with training wheels)I bet she could ride it without the training wheels, but I am too paranoid to let my 3 year old ride on just 2 wheels.
