Question of the Day

I donated blood at an American Red Cross drive up at church last night, and M and Zo walked up with me. We were hoping she’d get to see the process, but they were running late so M took Zo home while I waited. Before they left, though, the three of us sat together and just observed our surroundings, which included the little old KC guy who coordinated the drive. He was cute and ran to and fro doing various things. Zoe watched him intently, and then turned to me and asked, very seriously, “Do you think his toenails are painted?”

PicasZo

Zoe’s beautiful big girl bed comes with colorful big girl sheets and a quilt. She picked out a fantastic pattern that suits her personality perfectly. It’s bold, bright, colorful and a lot of fun. After we made up her new big girl bed, I realized that the pastel pink and green princess blanket that hung so sweetly over her crib now clashed horribly. Oh. Crap.

Zoe having fun at the Fun Fair

Zoe’s school and Parents as Teachers program hosted a Family Fun Fair this morning and we went. She got to draw with sidewalk chalk, eat a popsicle-thingy, swing, visit with our PAT parent educator, make a blowfish out of a paper lunch sack, get her helmet checked for size (Children’s Hospital – you rock!), rock on the rockers, climb on the climbers, and bounce in the bouncehouse. She had a blast, as did her mommy, popping off a gajillion photos in about 90 minutes. I heart digital.

Val…and water

I made a new friend the other day…which is way cool considering I wasn’t even in the market for a friend or considering acquiring a friend or thinking, “Huh, it’s been a long time since I made a friend.”
