A few recent stories\/comments to share:<\/p>\n
-I was trying to figure out which of several new dresses to keep for Zoe one afternoon, and I commented of one, “This one is a question mark.” Zoe jumped up to take a closer look at the (solid-colored) dress and then asked me, “Where is the question mark?” <\/p>\n
-When I heard Avery’s cries from the other room one morning, I teased Zoe by asking her what that noise was. “Avery!” Zoe said, to which I replied, “Who’s Avery?” “A little girl,” Zoe laughed. And when I asked where she came from, Zoe responded, “From your tummy, too!”<\/p>\n
-Zoe occasionally resists taking a bath. After filling up the bath one evening I called from the bathroom, “Okay, Zoe – I’m ready for you.” “I’m not ready for you,” came the reply.<\/p>\n
-When driving home from school on Halloween, I spotted a woman walking down the sidewalk in wild-looking (skintight, pink, leopard-print) pants. “Look, Zoe, she’s dressed up for Halloween!” I said before realizing (and then pointing out) it actually wasn’t<\/em> a costume. “Maybe she just dresses differently than us,” said Zoe. (I’ll say!) <\/p>\n -Showing that kids don’t quite understand the concept of a job, Zoe asked me out of the blue one day, “Do you have outside time at work?”<\/p>\n -Last night, Zoe was in a particularly loving mood. “I want to marry you,” she told me, before explaining it was so that we could be together forever. I assured her we would be, and she then said, “When I’m grown up I’ll Skype with you every day.” (Awww…)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A few recent stories\/comments to share: -I was trying to figure out which of several new dresses to keep for Zoe one afternoon, and I commented of one, “This one is a question mark.” Zoe jumped up to take a closer look at the (solid-colored) dress and then asked me, “Where is the question mark?” […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-64-two-kids-november-11"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10204"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10204\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10672,"href":"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10204\/revisions\/10672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
