Glad Heidi Likes the Nursery

It is Sunday, so today we went to church. Heidi was not very good for the first meeting, as usual... but she was happy to go to the nursery and "pay" with the other kids and toys. Just like last Sunday, when we got to the door of the nursery, Heidi turned around to me and said "Bye bye Mommy" and waved goodbye to me. I went back to peek in on her in between classes. She was doing just fine when I peeked. She was so cute sitting at the little table with all of the other kids having their snacks. She was doing such a good job of sitting there! When I went back to pick her up later, she just looked so happy and said "Hi Mommy!" with her arms up in the air for me to pick her up... and with a big smile, she said "Bye bye" to the lady who had been watching her.

I am really glad that she likes going into the nursery. So many kids cry when their parents drop them off there. It is just so nice to be able to be free for a little while. I enjoy having Heidi, but it is just nice to get a break from trying to keep her from running all over the place and screaming (like she likes to do at church).

Oh, someone at church today asked me if I was the one who does sign language with my baby. She said that she wanted to do it with her baby, who I think might be about 6-months-old. I told her how I started with the milk sign and Heidi started using it at about 8-months-old.

I guess there isn't much else to say about today. Heidi took a nap when we went home and as soon as she woke up, she was saying "Merman... Merman," meaning "Mermaid." She wanted to watch The Little Mermaid. I put it in for her to watch. She sometimes tries to sing along with Ariel in the movie. She sings "Ahhhhh Ahhhhh aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh." She also names things that she sees and knows the names of, like: crab, bird, shark, girl, dad, octupus, water, fish, etc.
