I’ve come to realize since becoming a mom that little kids – especially toddlers – are a lot like dogs. Zoe, for example, follows simple commands, runs around and “pants” when she’s happy, and even often begs for food like a little dog would. And lately, she’s been getting super excited (think dog-at-the-door-wagging-his-tail excited) when she knows she’s going somewhere. This morning, as I was gathering my things to head out, Zoe actually grabbed from her room her coat (as well her purse and a robe – for good measure) and started walking towards the door. It’s the first time she’s done this (and I didn’t even have to say “bye-bye” like one might to a pet), and I just had to snap a few pictures.
