Oh that Heidi! She is such an independent little thing. When she decides it's time for an activity, she just heads right into it. Like "water play time!" Let's see, mom's folding laundry, so Heidi climbs up on the counter and has a great time with water exploration.
Or let's say she's ready for a little snack? She never asks for food, I have to kind of catch her in the act and then help her get something if she's feeling snacky. She can also open the fridge which we sometimes have to tie shut if we're trying to let her be hungry for dinner. Or, maybe she'll just climb the counters and get the peanut butter out, open the drawer beneath her feet for her favorite spoon and then dig in.
Tonight she put herself to bed. Daddy said, "Do you want mommy or daddy to put you to bed?" She said, "me!" She signed for Gordon to wait at the bottom of the stairs, and then went up and closed her door. She came back out to peek and told Gordon to stay put. Then, she put herself to bed! About two minutes later, Gordon went in to peek and when he opened the door, she said, "No! Me do!"
What a little turkey! That strong stubborn streak will probably serve her well AND drive us nuts when she is older! :)
