  Zoe’s words: Russel (from the movie Up), seat, Aurora (from Sleeping Beauty), princess, moon, please
  
  Yesterday morning Zoe wanted a cup of water but instead of using words she stood in front of me and the fridge and proceeded to whine-cry while shaking her body, like she was having a minor seizure, with her head tossed back. *OH LE SIGH SIGH* One thing I CANNOT stand is whining. I hate it when other kids do it and I hate it more when Zoe does it. So I grabbed both of her hands into mine and said,

  Me: Zoe what do you want?
  Zoe: Wayur.
  Me: Ok fine but if you want water don’t stand there like this (I assumed her position) and go “EH EH EH EH EH EH!” Say “Water please.”
  Zoe: Wayur preash.
  Me: Ok good job Zoe. Good girl.
  
  Later that evening she runs over to me as I’m doing the dishes and goes “Mummy, wayur preash!”  GOOD JOB ZOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg! And then about 5 minutes later she brings her empty bowl to me and goes “Umma, kaka (snacks) preash!” I was soooo proud of her. So, so, very proud. She was actually listening to me when I spoke to her that morning!

  A lot of people ask me what I do with Zoe during the day. Here’s one of our exciting activities:
  
  
  Riveting. I know.
  
  Video Two: Yo Gabba Gabba
  Zoe loves Yo Gabba Gabba and now likes to sing that one song with their names. It sounds like,
  Me: My name is Plex, Plex.
  Zoe: Puhpuhpuhpuh Prex Prex.
  
  You know it right? Sometimes we throw in other people’s names. We like to remix things here in Zoeland. Till I can get a video of her singing her song here’s a video where she identifies all the characters:
  
  
  Now I just have to teach her to say DJ Lance.
