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 [...]

A case of the Mondays
02.03.10 | Permalink | 2 CommentsLong story short, I’m quite difficult to live with. And I’m sorry about the preposition there.

I’m studying again. Block 3 this time. And as usual with these stressful times, illness threatens us. To procrastinate I just wanted to update here. 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, [...]

Poll – we need your help!
06.23.09 | Permalink | 11 CommentsZoe’s too cute, and we’re too biased. Could you help us narrow down her 5000+ flickr photos to six for a cute kid contest? This is my first attempt at a poll. You can choose as many as you want and vote as many times as you want until sometime tomorrow, when I have to [...]

Well, child…
05.03.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsNow that Zoe appears to be free from the shackles of the Coxsackie A virus (which was hell on Earth, I’m telling you, and no, the name is not a joke), things are getting back to normal around here. By normal I mean that I am drastically less patient with her tantrums. And she’s much [...]

Free and easy
04.12.09 | Permalink | 5 CommentsSaturday we had no formal plans, so Zoe and I ventured to our old standby, the zoo. As is typical on the weekend, there was no parking, so we went the extra mile to the Holocaust Museum where there is a small exhibit on Dr. Seuss. We paid a meter, walked through the exhibit, then [...]
