-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.<\/p>\n

Did you get the e-mail?” she asked. (Did you get the e-mail<\/em>? I felt like I was talking to a teen-ager!)<\/p>\n -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.)
