Heidi's Diary

Heidi has been talking about diaries so much lately (and pretending that she has one) that I thought I would buy her one! We were at Fred Meyer today and I bought a composition notebook on sale for 50 cents for her to use as a diary. When we got home, she was SO excited that she really had her very own diary. She told me exactly what to write in it, so I wrote what she told me to say word for word. She also wrote some zig zaggy lines that go left to right across the page that look kind of like she meant for them to be sentences. She told me what they said, so I translated what she wrote in my handwriting just above/below what she wrote. Here's her first entry:

My mom bought my book and no boys are allowed to read it.

No boys allowed! This is Heidi's secret diary. No Boys! If a boy tries to get my diary, I'll say "Don't grab my diary!" Only girls can read my diary.

I played at the park today and Hannah played with the piano (a toy piano). We drove to Fred Meyer. I played in the play area. Mommy went shopping.

A sticker from Fred Meyer... (sticker is stuck to the page here)

No boys can read my diary. Trevor can't read my diary because he's a lousy boy.

Then, she drew a picture of a girl on the back of today's entry and said "This is a girl. She doesn't like boys."
