"Its moving"

Zoe is freaked out by rocking chairs and baby swings that swing on their own. I don't understand where this came from either. She is genuinely scared by them.

more changes

For a week or more now, Zoe has hated to take baths.. she has welcomed one shower, but most of her other cleaning has been under duress. One time I remember her telling me "its too wavy".

Additionally, she hardly eats anything and is quite picky.. I wonder to myself when did all of this happen.. where did my "eat-anything" girl go? what about the girl who loved to take baths and would stay in for 40 minutes at a time.
In all fairness, Zoe does love a variety of things including (in order of preference): dip (ranch and ketsup), meat, pasta, cheese (sandwiches), cucumbers, red peppers, frozen fruit, peas, pancakes, other fruit ....

leave Finn with the cats

About 2 weeks ago, Bruce was talking up our trip to see the mouse and was asking Zoe if she was excited and what things we'd bring with us and do there... she commented something to the fact: "yes, and we leave Finneas with the cats".

current Zoe

Zoe has another cold.. sinus, headache.. on the night that Finn slept two 6 hour chunks.. she was awake and tossing and turning in our bed all night.

Zoe loves to go "bubbling" (blowing bubbles) and "chalking".. she also likes to "paint" with her magic color only on special paper pens... except this morning she drew all over one of our ottomans.. leather.. not sure it will come out.

Zoe also loves her stepping stool.. and will drag it anywhere... she also loves to hang like a monkey from the fridge door handles.

She is still in love with stickers.. they are all over out house.. on our hands, floor, flour pots, everywhere.. I kind of like it as a "self-expression thing".

She is still passionate about helping to change Finn's diaper.. she'll hear him go poo and will announce its time to change him.

We went to Vancouver on Friday, and she saw her backpack... wore it to the Aquarium (for 10 minutes).. then she was calling it "bochilla", spanish for backpack, and talked to it.. it was cute.
She also still loves to use necklaces as backpacks.. some are rescue pack (from Diego), some are Backpack (from Dora).

bue sky: I colored it

Anna posted this to her facebook page on Saturday: "Yesterday I said to Zoe who I look after, Look the sky's blue! She said "I coloured it" !! I asked her to keep colouring it blue but I guess she forgot this morning!"
