woodpecker

just when i think i've failed as a parent, and zoey never listens to me, something like this happens: she just drove the van of doll house people back to the dollhouse, stoped at the door and said, "shhhhh. there's a woodpecker!"

to explain: earlier today we went on a walk and saw a small bird we called a woodpecker. we didn't think she could see it and she walked toward the branch to "see it" so we said, "don't go close! we don't want to scare it!" and she said, "then it would scream." which was hilarious to me, because can you picture a bird screaming like a human? like ned screamed when he saw purple drapes in that simpson's episode? anyway, it was a normal interaction like thousands we have during every day, so i figured it didn't sink in...but then 3 hours later, there it was.

of course, i think she has eric's photographic memory, so....what do i know?
