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 [...]

Allow me to rephrase.
The following is a story according to Joel, as it occurred on my day to get things done without a toddler in tow. Joel took Zoe to the zoo on Wednesday, where apparently all of Houston decided to spend that day of their spring break. Zoe rode on her Daddy’s shoulders much of the time [...]

An incomplete guide to Zoespeak
03.04.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsMonday Zoe and I went to her two-year-old checkup at the doctor. She is 35 inches tall, weighs 25 pounds, and has a healthy head circumference. I do not know the exact measurement, as it was taken during what I will call the oh-my-god-mom-the-world-is-ending-how-could-you-let-this-happen period of the visit. We waited nearly two hours, watching The [...]

Marker time
I have a deep love for my collection of gel pens (G2 Pilot all the way), highlighters, and dry erase markers. Maybe it’s a distraction. But I think it keeps things interesting. Awhile ago, Joel got a couple of inexpensive dry erase boards at Lowe’s to use for his work and my compulsive med school [...]

Domesticity, or, GetMeOuttaHere
01.12.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsApproximately sixteen hours ago, I was so moved by the uncharacteristic quiet calm in our home that I tweeted. I thought I was being clever. Later Joel would chastise and blame me for precipitating the cascade of events that followed. After waking to an alarm this morning in an effort to get ourselves up during [...]

I could learn a lot from Zoe…
One of my many favorite things about Zoe right now is her expressiveness. She is talking so much and showing more of her personality at every turn. She seems to feel things intensely but doesn’t hang on too long. Her manners impress me. We have mini conversations all day, and I love it. Though her [...]

Kids
So I misspoke. There are two other Moms in my class, for a total of four of us. How we’ve gone nearly the whole semester and not found each other is kind of shocking, but I guess we don’t have much time for socializing. Per Joel’s report, Zoe said the alphabet today, and she woke [...]
