A few recent stories from Zoe:<\/p>\n
-Not long ago, Q sang Zoe a few lines from “Escape (The Pina Colada Song).” A few days later, I heard her sing it – except her version was slightly different. Apparently she thought Q was singing about pina latkes<\/em>.<\/p>\n -Zoe has slept with her white blanket (“blankie”) since she was quite small, but a few weeks ago she decided someone else in the house needed it more than she. “No, I don’t need it,” she told me one night, as she placed it over one of her stuffed animals. “Big Bear is sick.” Big Bear wound up snuggled on the couch, covered by her blanket, every night for the next week – until Zoe determined he was “all better.”<\/p>\n -In the car the other day, Zoe blurted out – quite out of the blue – “I like my baby sister so much!” And not long afterwards, she decided Avery’s new nickname should be “Babycita.” (Now it’s common for Zoe to tell her, “I love you, Babycita Baby Sister Avery Browdy.”)<\/p>\n -My mom saved a bunch of toys from when my sister and I are little, and she’s been gradually bringing\/sending them to us. I’ve been keeping the more advanced ones in the garage, and I told a curious Zoe one day that they were for when she was older. Now, almost every night when we come home and she walks past the pile, she asks me, “Am I older yet?”<\/p>\n -I was helping Zoe out of the car recently, when she wrinkled up her nose. “You’re stinky,” she told me. “You need a shower!” (I wasn’t, and I didn’t, but it made me laugh.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A few recent stories from Zoe: -Not long ago, Q sang Zoe a few lines from “Escape (The Pina Colada Song).” A few days later, I heard her sing it – except her version was slightly different.
