Who's eating chocolate in my bed?

Off to school

Zoe does really like hanging out at Sandy's, even though her grumpy smile tells a different story...

My voice isn't that bad is it Zoe?

Happenings

This has been an eventful week to say the least, we've had a medical emergency, Zoe's first pooey nappy mourning and she has also perfected 'more', sometimes it is followed with a pleeeae (translation: please) but usually it is tagged on to the 'ma' of 'mama' so it makes me feel like a sophisticated french mother!
Firstly to alay your fears with respect to the medical emergency, Zoe is fine, she's just never going to be a tongue model. She slipped in the bath and managed to put, what seemed at the time, given how much blood was spurting forth, to be a massive gash into her tongue. Thankfully Ingrid our resident Zoz doc helped out with some medical advice, Zoe got to eat lots of chocolate ice cream and begrudgingly went to bed feeling very sorry for herself and not understanding what the yucky taste was.
On a more amusing note though Zoe threw a tantrum today demading that I retrieve her pooey nappy from the bin to put back on her bottom. Standing naked in front of me with the closed bin bag in one hand and an index finger pointing at her bottom while talking at quite a volume, with tears ready to roll was too much for me.
Lets hope that not every pooey nappy from here on in is going to demand the same attention, especially given grandma and grandpa will be taking over next week while I pop over to the UK again (sigh).

Finger painting gone awry

Zoe has learnt how to tell people to be quiet, especially when she is putting Molly the Dolly to bed in her cosy cardboard box.

Getting ready for winter

Park play time

Gone are the days of complacent pushing Zoe on the swings. Trips to our local playground are a real workout, as I'm sure Grandpa will attest to! The fav at the moment would have to be the slide. She usually clambers up the slide, sits atop the slide, waits for you to count to 3 and then pushes off whenever she feels ready, irrespective of your encouragement given there are oodles of others waiting for her to finally slide on down.
