hair cut

Today I arrived at school to pick up Zoe and the teacher showed me the pile of hair she found on the table and under the table.. among it  was a lot of blonde Zoe hair.  Her friends Claire and Batool volunteered that they too had done some trimming.

She did cut quite a bit of her side.. but it looks symmetrical with the side curves she already has.

(although I think this is due to the fact that her last hair cut tried to fix other previous self trims)

Wedding and empathy

Zoe is super empathic about animals.. taking after her mom... the caterpillars are here.. lots of them across campus, making their way about... Zoe was on campus a week ago, out of school due to pink eye, and she was very worried about the caterpillars getting hurt.  We spent a bit of time moving some off the sidewalks to the trees.  I must say, every time I walk to the lunch, I have the same inkling and wish I would just scoop them up.. however I can imagine what Bruce would say...
 

This came to a all time high when Zoe saw the roast pig at Holly's wedding reception.  She took one look, then at me and begged, "That is not a real little piggy is it?"  And started sobbing.  I felt so horrible I wanted to cover the pig up myself.  She and I talked. I tried to pursuade her that it was just meat.  She asked me if it just looked like a piggy and how would they do it.. yes, I lied.. I told her their were really talented people and it just looked like a pig.  She kept asking me about it, I tried to comfort her.  After an hour or so she was able to walk and play and let it go.

ugh.. horrible...
