i realize the grass is always greener, but i really do miss being "me and zoey" today. i used to get so stressed being with her all day long...well not stressed, but frazzled more. now i only see her a couple hours a day, and most of that time is getting ready for/going to bed. i greatly admire parents who have had to work since their kid was young...although i'm thinking now, that it's easier to have them at daycare from early on, so you never get used to the sweetness that occurs on a daily basis when you're able to stay home with your baby all the time...
once again i'm trying to slam on the brakes of time AND wishing for time to speed up because of things like poopy underpants and the "terrible threes".
remember when? i'm happy i took so many pictures of my little peach. it makes me feel really proud of what a big girl she is now.

things
things continue to go smoothly for us, at new job, at new school (yes it's preschool, she's not in kindergarten yet!). i'm sorry i have no pictures to put up right now as i'm at work and left the photos at home in our computer cluster that is dad's living room. we have been using dad's kitchen since my mom is visiting and there's more room for us all to eat and conviene (sp?)downstairs.
my mom has been staying home with zoey twice a week, and next week, we will have a whole week vacation with her all together at the lake in nh thanks to some old friends with a beautiful house.
in news:
zoey had a cold, after our weeklong annual camping trip at hermit island, which was loverly. i got sick short after, then my mom caught it, and she's still recovering. meanwhile, zoey woke up this morning with sniffles and cough. NO!!!!!
zoey was bitten by a deer tick when we were camping, and we're waiting to see if any signs of lyme show up, but so far so good. it's scary and has me pretty stressed out, when i remember to think about it. the tick has been tested, and i'm waiting for the doctor to call back today. she said even if the tick is positive for lyme zoey might not have it. also, if the tick tests negative, zoey could have it. so, i ask you, why test the tick!? what the heck. no one knows anything!
in GOOD news, zoey is wearing undies now and going in the potty regularly! she did well for a few days, and has had some rocky days recently, with lots of what they call "accidents". only one really messy one that had me cringing. ewwwwww. her butt looks SOOOOO CUTE in those little training underwears that gerber makes. in addition to "being a big girl" she has regressed to baby talk...i'm sure this is all normal right?...and likes to say, "mama, ma-ma" just like one of those really annoying baby dolls that "talks". it drives me nuts, and i have to try really hard to be supportive and give her "baby love". a lot of it started after we spent a week with sophia, who doesn't quite talk in sentences yet. i made sure i paid a lot of attention to zoey as well as sophia on our trip, but apparently, any attention directed at other kids is not allowed by zoey. they were pretty sweet together though. zoey kept saying sweetly, while putting her arm around sophie's shoulder "it's okay, your mama will be right back". so cute.
i guess that is all for now.
