  Zoe’s Daily Funny:
  Zoe’s annoying thing lately is “Play with me! Play with me! Play with me!” Sometimes I can’t though. I’ll be getting their baths ready, or ready for work, or changing Kayden, or packing their lunch, or making them food. She just expects me to drop what I’m doing and I can’t. So she also has learned to negotiate. I’ll be like…
  
  Me: Zoe wear a sweater. It’s cold today.
  Zoe: I will wear a sweater but if I get hot later then I will ask Miss Kathy if it is ok to take it off ok?

  or
  
  Me: Zoe eat your food.
  Zoe: If I eat it all like a big girl then can I get a piece of candy after I finish?
  
  So this morning she kept asking me to play with her. I finally got all the lunches packed, had her teeth brushed, her hair did, and I said…
  
  Me: Ok Zoe we can play now but only for 10 minutes.
  Zoe: Awwwww no. Nine!
  Me: …ok fine by me.
  
  Extra minute for mommy. YES!

  Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve written huh? I’ve been busy.
  
  So the hubs started a new job back in July.He had the night time watch duty of feeding Kayden whenever he woke up since Zoe forced me to sleep with her. A week before starting his job I heard Kayden crying around his usual time of 11pm. I could make out a sihlouette of my husband coming into Zoe’s room and he gets in my face and whispers “I’m sick of this shit. I’m crying him out. Don’t get him.” It wasn’t really a whisper. I was being nice. It was more like a hiss come to think of it. It took 3-4 days and then Fatty McFat was good. Now at night we just feed him his last bottle on my bed at 8:30, carry him to his crib, and then he always curls up on his left side and hugs his blankie and goes to sleep and wakes up 6ish every morning. He loves that blankie. Life is finally starting to look sweet again after having Kayden.
  
  Well the hubs is on his first business trip. It’s a long one and it’s to Hong Kong. He left last friday and he’s not back till October 5th. He was emailing me photos of what first class looked like. Show off. Hahaha…. He also wrote “I love you”. I mean he says it all the time but he never writes it and especially first. I don’t know. It’s not like he’s never been away from me but somehow…I really miss him and it’s only day one. I was up till 12:30 last night and I was just really sad. Not sad that he wasn’t here to help me but sad because he wasn’t with me. It was a strange feeling but yet good cause it just reafirms that after all these years I really do love him you know. You know we’ve been together for like 11 years? I was surprised at myself for feeling the way that I did. I also think a skunk farted on our house that night. I thought I should write that since I was talking about his first night away. We told Zoe that daddy was going to China to fight the Huns with Mulan. Hahaha….
  
  Saturday morning Zoe goes “I miss my daddy a little bit because he went to China. He’s my only daddy and that’s why I’m sad.”
  
  Before he left his boss was telling him to get me something nice while he was out there. He suggested jewelry. I’m like “no thanks”. I was like…
  
  Me: How ’bout a bag?
  C: Sure! How ’bout Gucci with three “C’s”?!
  
  Um. How ’bout not foo?

  I miss him.
  
  :: 09.03.11 :: Day One: Dewey Beach (Sunny)
  We took our last summer trip to the Delaware shore for almost a week during Labor Day weekend. It was a 4 hour drive. The first day we just checked into the condo and scoped out the area.
                                    
  
  
  
  
    
  
  :: 09.04.11 :: Day Two: Dewey Beach (Sunny)
  We hung out at Dewey Beach. Zoe refused to go near the water. Chicken.  So we went ”treasure hunting for seashells”. Let me tell you she was picking up the broken pieces of shells and rocks. I tried to teach her but she liked what she liked. I give the hubs props for this time. While Zoe and I were hunting, he was hanging with Kayden who was getting super cranky. He just found a quiet spot on the beach and he just rocked him for a really long time while he just kept crying and he finally put him to sleep. If you know Kayden, this is not an easy task. You’re the best hun. In the evening we checked out the boardwalk in Rehoboth. We took Zoe to this place called Fun Land. It had games and a lot of kiddie rides. She kept freaking out from all the noise so we just broke out. Then I saw a marching band playing. She started to complain about all that noise too. Fun sponge. C went back to Fun Land and won Zoe a stuffed blue lobster doll. She told him to go back and win her a red one too. So demanding. He refused. I also remember a lot of ice cream being consumed during this trip. Kayden LOVES ice cream as does Zoe.
  
  
  
  
  
                                        
  
  
  
  
                                      
  
  
                                      
  
  :: 09.05.11 :: Day Three: Rehoboth Beach (Partly Sunny)
  We hung out at Rehoboth on this day. The waves were really rough. Once again Zoe was anti-ocean. So we looked for more shells and Zoe even made some sand-angels in the sand. We tried to go to Fun Land again but Zoe was a no go. The second we go in she covers her ears and she’s like on the verge of tears. She hates loud noise. We also tested out the wagon for the first time with Kayden. He L O V E D the wagon!
