June 28, 2008 June 28, 2008 June 2010 June 2010 Two years ago today, we were sitting in Washington’s Dulles airport waiting for our flight home. Home for you to meet you daddy and your big brother. You smiled at me on occasion but more often than not gave me a look of suspicion as [...]
My baby girl who is 2 and a half–when the f* did that happen? How did my little bundle of sweet babyness turn into a 2 and a half-year-old bundle of independence and pure girlieness? Anyway. Zoë is all girl and anyone who has ever met her can attest to that. She is dying. I [...]
Until recently, I never realized that this game was created by parents to keep them sane. I know there are some of you out there who are not blessed with a child as amazing as my little girl. She has this special talent. She talks non-stop. I mean non-stop. Really. The longest she is quiet [...]
For the past five months or so–probably longer as the time really just blends together–Noah and Zoë have been sleeping in the same bed. Well, Noah has grown tired of his sister kicking him and Zoë has tired of the boy sheets. She wanted girl sheets. So, we have been talking to Zoë about getting [...]
Zoë that is. Or Bobo as she prefers to be calls. I am reprimanded countless times a day when I actually address her by her name “NO. ME BOBO.” I laugh and tell her she might want to rethink that before she goes to school. But she is happy to be Bobo. To say that [...]

So, today I took Zoë to get her ears pierced today. I have been wanting to do it for some time now and Bill and I agreed that I would wait until after her 2nd birthday. I have been talking to her about it for a few weeks, getting her prepared. I have to say [...]
Dear Zoë, Two days ago you turned 21-months-old. That is 21-months going on 3 or 4. You are a personality to be reckoned with and you never let us forget it. You are at that age where you are so rapidly changing and developing. You shine so bright that it is impossible not to notice [...]
My little Bo-Bo has been home a year now and I can hardly believe it. There is so much I want to say about her, but I am so busy that I don’t have the time right now to do it. I have 5 minutes while my student are on break, but I just wanted [...]
