Zoe-ism
She calls the melted ice cream at the bottom of the bowl, “ice cream juice.”

Is peeing on the floor progress?
Yes. It is. We’re going to say it is, anyway. Because when one is scared to pee anywhere but one’s diaper, then peeing on the floor is progress because we have peed somewhere other than the diaper.

The waiting is the hardest part…
I just went to the restroom and, during that brief respite from work, could no longer bury myself in the paperwork that covers my desk. I began to think of Zozer, and wonder how she’s doing, and imagined her wailing in a small, bare bathroom at school. While her friends and teachers gleefully eat two dozen moon doughnuts purchased in her honor.

U-Day
After months and months of talking about how we were going to go pee and poo on the potty when we were four, it didn’t happen. Sigh.

Waiting for the Train
Our little girl is four years old today. We took her to the zoo, which has become our annual tradition. Last year she was all about the carousel. This year it was the train. We rode it around and around and around. Didn’t see too many animals – just tigers and bears and some birds (including two hootie owls, of which we specifically went in search), but we sure had fun. It’s hard to believe how much has changed in four short years; it’s hard to believe how fast it has gone.

Papa Update
Papa did really well with his cardiac cath. I still am absolutely amazed that a doctor can stick a camera in your leg and go all the way to your heart and take a look-see, and you can be awake for the whole thing. Mind-boggling.

Prayers for Papa
Papa is having a cardiac cath done this morning, you know, stents and the like. I can’t type too much about it because typing about it makes me think about it which makes me cry.
