Time to Dance

Zoë, along with her friends Naomi and Julia performed what is referred to around here as “the honey honey dance” at the Primary talent show. The girls has a blast.

Zoë is her mother’s daughter

Zoë is what some might call an active sleeper. On the nights when Audrey is causing a fuss and Z sleeps in our bed, I really do enjoy starting off my day by hearing her little voice say “good morning, daddy”. One thing I’m not a big fan of is her fist and feet of fury during the night. I have no idea how such a little thing can take up the entirety of a king size bed. (Granted, that sentence holds true for mother and daughter. Last night, when I went to get in bed, here is how I found Zoë:

Once again, thanks to my new flash for helping me get this pic without waking Z

A moment of tranquility during the madness that was dinner.

Run DMZ (Z is for Zoë)

Today I was at Costco and saw a pink track suit that I thought would be perfect for Zoë. I also got in a new flash for my camera…I think you can see where this is going.

As Z would say, “I am proud to present Zoë, from W W I Z!!”

A repost from Maryanne’s site:

My friend Stephanie just posted this picture on her blog, and I immediately asked her for a copy, because it captures the essence of Zoe like no other.

This was taken at her birthday party, as she was surrounded by her “little boys” as she calls them (”Is my little boy Ben going to be there?”), basking in the attention in which she is so at home.

Ah, I love it.

Fun day at the pool

the daddy — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 07:57:37 +0000

It’s been pretty hot the last couple of days so we decided to spend an afternoon at the pool. Zoë’s is such an excellent little swimmer now. She’s at the point where she can swim across the width of the pool, popping her head up to take breaths along the way. We overheard 2 other parents saying “look at that little girl swimming” to their children.

This is absolutely what I live for

Zoë’s in trouble!

Little Miss Zoë was just sent to bed without reading time because she used a bad word that she learned from her potty mouthed mother.

What word, you ask?
“Crack”

That’s right, “crack”. She overheard Maryanne say “crap” and started imitating it. Maryanne was trying to get Zoë out of the tub and Z looked at her and with a snarl said “CRACK”!

Pretty funny stuff.

She actually has a history with this. When we told her that she shouldn’t say “crack”, she made up her own word “robock” that she used instead. It’s interesting to see these formative years of vulgarity.

The musical tastes of Miss Calamity

So far Zoë knows 3 types of music: church music, yazz (jazz) and rockenroll. She’s a big fan of Santana. Although, she may think he is related to Santa.

Overheard at the house…

Zoë (in a dramatic drawl): Mommy….I’m sad
Maryanne: It’s ok baby, just don’t make a big deal about it
