Zoe update

She is doing great in her new classroom.  She loves being with her BFF Milly Grace.  Sometimes her first words to me when I pick her up are "MILLY GRACE!".  They are very potty-centric in the classroom and they tell me she is doing very well with that.  At home she will happily sit on the potty but I have yet to witness an actual deposit into the potty.  They say she should be in underwear by the end of July although I am extremely dubious.

As the summer comes, so comes the sun earlier and earlier.  Zoe wakes with the sun and that is not making for a happy mama.  The rule is she is supposed to stay in bed until 6, and she can recognize 6 on her clock (we taped over the minutes so she can only see the hours).  She knows if the clock doesn't say 6 that she is supposed to go back to sleep.  If she stays in bed until 6 she gets a sticker which she is very excited about.  However, she hardly ever stays in bed until 6. :(  I am thinking of painting her windows black.  Seriously.

She has been doing a really cute and funny thing recently that Lee and I just love.  If you say something to her she will sometimes say "Oh really?".  The way she asks it is very earnest and interested and it always makes me smile!  She draws out the "really" part and usually tilts her head to the side when she asks.  Super cute!

Today she told me "I am Dizzy's mommy" and they spent about 10 minutes with Mommy petting Dizzy's tummy.


When she goes to bed, we have to tell her 2 "Miss Wanda stories".  Miss Wanda is a pink horse that she made up and she demands that we make up 2 stories about Miss Wanda before she goes to bed.  She's not really picky about the stories, but there has to be 2 stories or else!
