Today we went to the Placer County Office of Education's annual Christmas Party. There were lots of kids there this year and Ben and Heidi had a good time participating in the activities and talking to Santa. Last year Ben would not get within 10 feet of him and this year he kept asking me to go back and talk to him some more. Heidi stared at Santa for a long time and then decided it would be okay to stand a little closer as long as she was next to Ben. Heidi's favorite part was the snack table and kept going back to fill up her cup with more Pirate's Booty. There was a little boy Heidi was playing with who also had in hearing aids and Heidi kept asking him, "Those Heidi's hearing aids?" I don't think he understood what she was asking, but it was good for her to see other kids wearing them. It's a really neat get together because there are toddlers with all kinds of disabilities and the kids don't even care; I wish they could stay that non-judgemental and innocent forever!
