She Knows the Letter "U"

Heidi can correctly identify the letter "U" now. I've noticed the last few days, she always seems to call it a "U" when we point to it. We have some foam letters that Heidi plays with in the bathtub, and she will say the names of different letters (like: T, Y, E, C, M, Z), but usually doesn't get the right name with the right letter. Sometimes, she gets E, M, Z, and C right.... but it might just be luck sometimes.

Tonight before bed, Heidi went and picked a couple of books to read with me. She picked Brown Bear, Brown Bear, An Animal Picture Book by Eric Carle, and a Disney's The Little Mermaid book.

We named all of the animals in the first two books. Then, when she opened the third book and saw the mermaid, she started singing like Ariel does in the movie. It was so cute. She would sing "Ahhhhh... Ahhhhhh.... Ahhhh." Then, she pointed to the prince who was laying on the beach after Ariel rescued him. He looked pretty out of it. Heidi said he was hurt when she pointed to him. He did look hurt the way he was laying there. Then, we pointed at some other things and she said what they were, like the crab, fish, the octopus/sea witch, and the mermaid's "papa."

Heidi kept talking about pizza today. She mentioned it a few times through the day. I guess she was wanting some pizza, so tonight, I went and got us a "hot-n-ready" pepperoni pizza from Little Caesar's for $5. She was pretty excited that we were going to eat pizza. She kept saying pizza in the car after we got it. When I told her we could eat it when we got home, she kept saying "Pizza, home." I guess we can eat it tomorrow night too.
