Spring is here!

Dear Zoe, Last week was rough.  You came down with a bad case of the flu- you were sick for four days.   All I wanted was for you to go back to your normal playful self...and then you did, and I got sick!  We didn't do much all week, we just stayed inside and watched a lot of Mickey and Elmo.  You were getting very stir crazy.  

Thank goodness it is a brand new week and the weather is wonderful!  Today, it was 81 degrees outside when we were leaving the park.  You are back to your old self and you just love spending time outdoors. 

Cheeeese Mama!

What to do...slides or swings?  Big decisions for such a little girl.

And she is off!

First time in the sandbox- didn't know what to make of your hands getting so dirty!  Such a dainty girl.

Looking forward to a fun summer with you, Zo Zo!!

xoxo, the mama

Play "dates"

Dear Zoe, today your friend Cole came over to play.  You were so excited for his visit, you kept saying "Cole! Cole!" all morning when I told you he was on his way.

You two are so sweet together.  He plays hide and seek with you and you laugh and laugh.  He brought some snacks over for you guys to share, and you guys sat so nicely together.  I was lucky enough to capture this moment...

Zoe:  "Cole, these are DELICIOUS veggie straws!"

Cole: "Thanks Zoe.  My mom gets them at Costco.  You should talk to your parents about getting a membership there."

Zoe: "Why are you guys staring at us?  Can we have some privacy please?"

Zoe: "These moms of ours.  Can't live with them...REALLY can't live without them!"

Zoe, you took this moment to lean in for a kiss.  You caught Cole a bit by surprise, but...

He returned with a hug.  :)

Zoe: "So, have you had any other good snacks lately?"

xoxo, the mama
