WooHoo! Potty Progress.

I'm so thrilled. Zoe used the potty three times today at her own initiative! One time she didn't even tell me first, I just found her in the bathroom taking her diaper off. This is major progress!

I have figured out how to climb out of my crib. heehee. I think I am going to get a big kid bed soon!

Happy Birthday Auntie YaYa

Two-Teen

Zoe is not quite two, but if being 2 is defined by irrational tantrums she is an accomplished 2 year old already. A teenage-two. They usually sound like this:

"NNoooooo! Nothing! Don't Look At Me! Don't Talk About It! Noooo! Wahhhhhhh! No No No!"

Getting Dressed

Zoe chose her outfit before going to the library

today. A process that involves spending ages taking

everything out of her dresser as she says repeatedly, "wear dis?....nooooo". Eventually she selected pants, a skirt, two t-shirts, and a sweater. Then she also wanted to wear both her rain coat and her winter coat. And her monster hat too.

Mom: "Let's go get a new diaper."
Zoe: "No, I don't [t]hink so. Maybe next year."

she was saying "maybe next time" all the time, all of a sudden it is "maybe next year." Where did she get that? She cracks me up.

Zoe is such a trooper!

Today was the second day in a row of waking Zoe up several hours before the crack of down to take daddy to work. Yesterday she stayed asleep on my shoulder all the way out to the car, then was cheery and giggled on the way and when we got home, she went back to sleep. Perfection! This morning I went in her room and she stood up and said "I ready." I picked her up and she said "take daddy work". But this time she wouldn't go back to sleep... zzzzzz
well, now she is napping at least.
