Clumsy
Here’s what just happened: A curly-headed blur zoomed past me as I carried the dog’s full bowl of water to his tray. Zoe, don’t run with a pen, please. It’s dangerous. “It’s not a pen, and anyway I was skipping with it. It’s my pencils.” ALRIGHT WELL WHATEVER YOU’RE RUNNING WITH STOP IT AND WALK [...]

Teleos and teratomata
We have a new niece, and she is gorgeous. I got to hold her, and I suppose it’s safe from 271 miles away to admit that anyone other than family would have to fight me with a weapon to surrender her because holding newborns is definitely in my top three activities. Not sure what the [...]

She’s just Zoe
Can we believe Zoe is three years old? Last Friday we headed to the Great White North – Dallas had claimed a record 12 inches of snow – to visit Grandma Shirley and Uncle Dan who were in town from Minnesota; as a result, Zoe had eight grown people to fawn over her in person [...]

Zoe has been ill lately, and after three antibiotic shots from the doctor this week (in lieu of liquid medicine, which she absolutely refuses to take, clamps down her mouth, [...]

I believe the Rolling Stones have a song to this effect.
07.12.09 | Permalink | 4 CommentsYesterday Zoe woke up around 9:00 AM. We played, cooked, played some more, swam, played, bathed, and played. At one point in the mid-afternoon I thought I might die from exhaustion and took a 20 minute break on the couch in a twilightish stupor, never falling asleep, but it was enough that when she asked [...]

Sleep-deprived ramblings about sleep
07.12.09 | Permalink | 2 CommentsI have come to the conclusion that Zoe just does not require the same amount of sleep as most other kids. Here’s what happened last night. After a long, no-nap day, she went to sleep at 9:30 PM – very, very early by our standards. She woke up at 5 AM, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. What [...]

I guess so.
07.01.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsWhenever we part with someone, Zoe says her goodbyes, and after the door is closed or they walk away, she says, “Well, I guess so!” When we’re chatting in the elevator and someone exits on his or her floor, it’s, “Well! I guess so!” After saying goodbye to her Gigi and the car door closes, [...]
