Family Vacation :: Playa Del Carmen :: Day Seven
Zoe’s Daily Funny:
So apparently she has a new word to add to her vocabulary. It’s the word ‘shy’.
Zoe: Mommy, you’re Donkey and I’m Shrek.
Me: No. I don’t want to be Donkey.
Zoe: No, it’s ok. Don’t be shy. You’re donkey
Me: Hahah I’m not shy!
Zoe: No it’s ok mommy. Just be donkey.
Another time she was playing with her wikki stix…
Zoe: Mom, do you wanna play with me?
Me: No thanks.
Zoe: Don’t be shy. Here you go. (shoving some wikki stix into my hands.So we all (as in my family) still have a cold. It’s mostly just the coughing we can’t shake. What gives man? We’ve all been having coughing fits all week. I called my OB and she said I could take some Robitussin. Whatever helps!
So life is good. We’ve been busy. Zoe asked for my hand in marriage. Hahah it’s really cute. I’ll write about it in one of her daily funnies coming up after I’m done posting up my last vacation entries. You know, I never thought I’d say this but I actually don’t have time to write on Xanga as much as I’d like anymore. It makes me sad. Hahaha I’m being for real you assholes. It really does make me sad. I know. I’m pathetic.
So Zoe has been growing up so fast, development-wise. I bought her these Porro training chopsticks two weeks ago and she’s sooo good at it ! She’s also huge on sharing. It’s actually too much sharing. She’ll be chewing two gummy bear vitamins at once and she’ll ask me “Do you want some mommy?” I say “No thanks.” And she says “Here” and she’ll stick her finger in her mouth to take a piece out. Nasty. She’ll even share her last piece of something with you even though she loves it. She’s really sweet. She can open and close doors now. She talks A LOT. Like A LOT A LOT. I even woke up last night (God knows what time it was) cause she woke up and she was just jibber jabbering in the dark. I was so delirious I don’t even remember what the girlfriend was saying. Yesterday she saw a container of Pocky sticks on the counter and she asked me if she could have it. I said no so she responded back “but I want to eat it so I can like it.”
Clever answer but no. She also likes to talk about babies with no teeth. Like “When I was a baby I had no teeth and now I have teeth because I am a big girl?” Yes. She also likes to defy us. BRAT! Her father is a big chicken when it comes to punishing her. He like can’t do it unless she’s like on his last nerve. WUS! Yesterday we were arguing how about how Zoe saw her fingerpaint that I had bought her. He thinks it’s my fault that she saw it but if he didn’t pick her up she wouldn’t have seen it on the table to begin with. Zoe could tell we were arguing and she grabbed his hand and put him in a timeout for 3 minutes. When he asked her why she said “You don’t listen to mommy.” Did I tell you I love her? Yesterday she came home with a bad diaper rash and was bawling her eyes out every time we’d go near her ‘Hoo-Ha’. By this morning it was sooo much better but she had a rash on her back by the waist of her diaper. It turns out she pooped yesterday in school and didn’t tell her teachers for a long time and by then it reached up that high causing her that rash along with the diaper rash. There’s always something isn’t there?!
:: 07.10.10 :: Playa Del Carmen :: Day Seven
On this day we spent the whole day at Xcaret which is supposed to be an eco park. I would actually recommend 2 days. Only because if you have kids it takes twice as long to go through everything, plus feeding them takes God knows how long, and your possible melt downs in between, not to mention their nap time you have to squeeze in. We had a lot of fun here. It was a really hot day and every time it’d get hot we’d just go in for a dip to cool off. I thought the whole park was really well designed.

Hehe, “don’t be shy!”
xcaret is really fun. definitely would take 2 days. I think that we only had half a day there.
wow, xcaret looks like fun. i just love the way it’s pronounced, xcaret. i’ll definitely look into going there the next time we decide to vacation in mexico.
how was that underground river tour? i’ve never snorkled before and the idea of doing it underground honestly makes me a little nervous.
@SarahakaHungry - i will tell you it is a little intimidating especially once you step into the water and it feels really cold. but you’ll have fun. i’m not a swimmer and i enjoyed it. you’ll have your life jacket on so you’ll be fine. just make sure to pair up with whoever you come with so you feel a little bit more secure.
she is growing up so fast.
Did you guys go on a bus tour did you drive yourself there? Wasn’t sure if it was worth it when the husband and I were down in Cancun.
@thaom10 - to go to xcaret? we hailed a cab.
@thaom10 - but when we hailed a cab to go downtown the night before we were asking the cab drivers an estimate of how much it would cost from the hotel to xcaret so we wouldn’t get ripped off the next day.
@PetiteMandoo - Thanks I have to remember that.
bwahaha. you and your daughter’s bantering is so amusing. when i read my xanga subscriptions and hear about zoe’s latest conversations, it instantly puts a smile on my face. i like her reasoning… “can i have some so i can like it?” she’s so smart!
You’re smart about the cab thing.
The underground river tour looks pretty cool… but scary at the same time.
zoe is so cute… hughug!
@jiNNie_g - it’s not scary so if you go i’d highly recommend it.
@jiNNie_g - it does look intimidating at first but you’re with a group of people and along the way there’s always light coming from openings on the ground above you. it’s really refreshing especially on a hot day and the water is really clean.
