Hitting: Heidi is acting out her frustrations in her pretend play

I was trying to get Heidi to go down for a nap today, but she didn't really want to go down for one. She kept telling me that she had to go potty (saying "Potty Mommy... Potty!" and doing the sign for potty). I thought she was just trying to get out of going down for a nap, but after a couple minutes of her telling me "Potty Mommy!" I finally gave in and we went to the bathroom. She sat down and wanted me to get a book to read to her, so I picked up a book called "I Love You Papa In All Kinds Of Weather." After I brought the book in and started reading it to her, she went pee pee in her little potty chair. :) Some days she is interested... and some days, she is just not. She is only 21-months-old now though (going on 22 mo), so we still have a lot of time to work on it.

At church on Sunday, she was hit a couple of times by a couple of the kids in the nursery. One little boy hit her pretty hard and when she fell, she fell pretty hard and her head hit the ground. She was REALLY upset and cried a LOT. Well, today... some of Heidi's pretend play was about someone hitting another person and the person who was hit would always cry... and I think the other person was hit back and she called them "mean." She called the two boys who hit her "mean" in the nursery too. I guess she is just acting out her frustrations.

She is also still pretend playing sometimes that one of her dolls wants to be breastfed, but the other won't breastfeed him/her... and so that doll ends up crying and sad too. She is still trying to work through my weaning her to only morning feedings. I REAAAAAAALLLY want to have her weaned by the time she is two-years-old! Maybe things would be different if Brian were home.
