A few recent stories:

-Earlier this week we received a report from school that Zoe had pinched her right hand while moving a chair. (Minor incident: No blood, she’s fine.) “Did you cry?” I asked her. “I did not. I was super brave,” she responded.

-I usually pick out Zoe’s clothes for school, but one recent morning I asked Q if he could. From the other room I heard Zoe tell him, “Pick out something good so Mommy won’t yell at you.”

-On the way home the other day Zoe commented that the microwaves weren’t working at school. “Oh, right – because the electricity was out,” I said, recalling a note I had seen a few days earlier. “Yeh. Did you get the e-mail?” she asked. (Did you get the e-mail? I felt like I was talking to a teen-ager!)

-One day, a tired and grumpy Zoe squirmed away from my attempted hug. “Zoe,” I told her, “If you don’t want to be hugged, then you shouldn’t be so cute.” (That’s a line I learned from Zia Angela.) Exasperated, Zoe told me, “There is no way for me to be not cute!”
