a nice long weekend

it started off with a pancake breakfast. i'm not a breakfast cook. eric is. every time he makes pancakes zoey helps him out, and of course they have to wear their aprons.

don't worry mom, i usually put her hair up out of her face (all day long) but she just wasn't having it that day, so i let it fly away.




perty


love it


love it more





tonight zoey held up one of her tub toys and said, "daddy, it's a solitary light."

the other day, when i said i had to check the spinach to see if it was too hot she said, in the manner of a beastie boy, "check it out. check it boyee."

lately:

she MUST do what she decided to do, but will do what i tell her...after she has done what she wanted/decided to do. for instance, after bath she/we brush her teeth every night. tonight she forgot, or didn't want to brush her teeth and started walking to the bedroom, while eric repeated, "time to brush your teeth, don't forget your teeth" a million times. she came around the corner to where i am sitting at the computer (en route to the bedroom from bath time) and looked at me (CUTE, wearing her white bathrobe, hood and all, and with a glistening face) and said, in her, I'm Acting LIke A Grownup voice, "good night mommy, i'm going to bed...after i brush my teeth" and then went back to the bathroom. she will be coming by any minute to go into the bedroom. hehe.

i cut her hair today. it's shorter that ever. it's cute, and hopefully good for summer. she gets heat rash too much. pictures of haircut coming soon.

willful child takes over benevides household. that's our headline lately i think. i'm not sure what's happening, but i think it's a mutiny.
