Zoe saves the day
On the last morning of school Zoe asked me, “Shouldn’t we get Mila a present?” Avery was going to her friend’s birthday party right after pick-up and I had forgotten to wrap one; I would have sent Avery off without a gift if Zoe hadn’t reminded me. A morning or two earlier, Zoe looked at the calendar on her tablet and announced, “Avery has a dentist appointment this afternoon.” (Me: “Uh, she does?”) And just last week, as we about to leave for an overnight in Sonoma, Zoe asked, “Did we pack Hippo and finger blanket?” (We hadn’t, and those are must-haves for each girl at bedtime.)
These are just a few examples of life with Zoe, who sometimes reminds me of a little adult. And while I want her to be a carefree kid, not a little Mommy, life is pretty busy and I’ll take any extra help I can get!
