dancing levi

zonked out zoey

we went to a local zoo a few weeks ago. they have animals native to this region...except the elephants which were too "important" to let go when the zoo turned regional...anyway, we went to see toe jam puppet band, which is group of three guys who sing cool kiddo songs. zoey sat glued to my lap the whole time while i wished she'd stand up and dance like she does at home. she enjoyed herself though, by watching and taking in every bit of information she could with sight and sound.

during a mandatory distraction session (aka a diaper change) i was asking zoey who we saw at the zoo and she, as usual, named almost everyone we knew who were there. then she told me the animals we saw, and when i said "and we saw a beaver", zoey said, "sleepin' ?" and so she has begun to tell stories, mostly in two or three words, about what has happened in the past. it's really cool. i was amazed that she remembered the beaver was sleeping. just when i think she's not listening (because when i was telling her to look at the beaver because he was sleeping, she was just trying to get down and walk around). her brain is a sponge indeed.
