Yesterday when I was getting our daughter from the bus as Heather, she commented "yay, miss Heather is here to pick me up." She then proceeded to tell me that she prefers when miss Heather gets her from the bus because "it's more appropriate" - her words. It seems that she really prefers Heather over Joe some days.
This brought up another topic when I mentioned it to Rain. There was a father/daughter dance recently at her school. She never told us about it until that day when we found out about it from the school. It seems she didn't want to go for a number of invented reasons.
Last night after hearing her comments about Heather, I found out the real reason. It seems that she didn't want to go because she could not bring miss Heather. She didn't want daddy to go to the dance, she wanted Heather. This really surprised me, because she insisted that Heather is who she wanted even after Rain told her I'd go as Joe and not Heather. Her reasoning for not going was because her friends wouldn't understand her bring me as Heather to the dance.
It seems that she sees Heather as more fun than Joe because Heather is silly, likes to go shopping, etc. For a 7 year old, she is extremely perceptive.
