Heidi trapped the kitty.

Heidi is learning some new things. Especially how to throw temper tantrums. She is getting into the time of trying to get what she wants by screaming and kicking. Just the last two weeks have been on and off screaming, and kicking while on the floor and trying to cry so much that her face turns red. At first I thought she was just frustrated with boredom maybe but, once she wanted something and I told her, no, she immediatly had her meltdown. I then figured out that we just need to walk away and pay no attention to her. I'm now figuring out a time out area for her. I can't put her in her room with all her toys, or the computer room when she loves to play with daddy's computer, or our room where she loves to explore. So I have a cute bench for her to sit in the corner now. We just need to stay consistant with it now.

Other than mis behaving, Heidi has been a sweetheart. She's been learning more and more. She is such a sponge right now. Most words she says now are, daddy, mommy, kitty, berry, car, ball, keys, juice, cheese, doggie, shoe, cookie, squirrel, and the number two. She is having so much fun learning new words. Heidi also loves to help out. If I'm in the kitchen doing something she wants to help or she gets mad. She likes to see what is going on and how to do it I think. So I think we will make Valentine's cake and cookies this weekend sometime.

This week we thought of Torii and his steelers. So Heidi helped cheer on the steelers for him. Sounds like it might have helped! :)

Last week, Heidi was watching Toy Story 3, again, and the movie came to the part of when Buzz is trapped under the clear plastic tote. While I was putting laundry away, and came back into the living room, Heidi was giggling and had the laundry basket tipped over. I thought she wanted to play the game we used to play together,where she leans over and falls into my arms. But as soon as I sat down next to her, I heard a faint meow. She trapped the poor cat. Then she was pushing the tipped over basket with the cat still inside all over in the living room floor. She is so silly! I couldn't believe that she just did that! Sometimes I wonder what she takes in now from movies.
