Scenes From The Backseat
Posted by sara on February 4th, 2010. Filed under: Zoe.OK. Here’s the situation. The girls and I had just left the fish store. While we were at the fish store, Zoe grabbed some little doo-dad that she wanted to bring home. Since we were already buying $20 worth of fish; I told her no and carted her out of the store. Clearly, I am very, very mean.
So she cried. All. The. Way. Home. Not just a little crying, but the kind of crying that makes little babies huff and puff and cough. BRUTAL crying. Guess who doesn’t like crying? Other than me? Avery. So Avery tried to be the good big sister and help Zoe out. It went a little something like this.
Avery: Zoe, be more cheery!
Zoe: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
Avery: It’s OK, baby! We have new fish!
Zoe: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
Avery: Zoe, listen to me. Blah blah blah unicorns blah lollipops blah stegosaurus blah blah herbivore blah blah Isn’t that cool, Zoe?
Zoe: (Practically growling) Don’t talk to me EVER! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Yes, that is really what she said. I know this because I asked Avery to repeat it. “Zoe told me to not talk to her ever. Hmmph!”
I’m quite certain this can be blamed on Mike’s genes. This kind of attitude personality trait could never have come from my side of the family.
What? Why are you looking at me like that? Here. Look at this instead.
It has nothing to do with anything, but it is a very good reminder of why I haven’t sold Zoe to gypsies on any given day. Yet.

Awwwww Avery trying to be a good big sister. Obviously it didn’t work for Zoe, but “Blah blah blah unicorns blah lollipops blah stegosaurus blah blah herbivore blah blah” would definitely have cheered me right up.

Hey, that’s not a mullet. Not now, at least. It is a head full of deliciousness.
Can I eat her up? Please?!? Aura’s too big now and gets all touchy about being eaten.

@Kate@ And Then I Was a Mom, Yes, please. She is still very delicious, and lets me nibble on her daily. I figure I only have a few months left, but I’m open to sharing.

I know there were times when my mother would’ve gladly paid someone to take me far away. So, I think it was really nice of her that she opted to hang on to me.
My dad claims it’s simply due to the hope that I marry rich and can pay for them to live in a really nice home someday.

It’s so heartless how they do this….one day you see them and they’re doing their best just to get from here to there. Then the next time you see them they’re all….toddlers and whatever. Gut-wrenchingly adorable toddlers, often, but nonetheless, it wounds. She’s stunning.

This type of conversation is so similar to what happens at my house. It is exhausting.

LOL She is too precious. I say keep her now and reconsider the gypsies when she’s a tween (I’m there now ~ eek!).
