We’re still alive. No power, our house is ice cold, no hot water, we have a gas stove, but we’re safe. I am writing this post through my iPhone. I’ve been posting photos on instagram so you can follow me here: http://statigr.am/petitemandoo

Zoe’s First Time Away
Kayden’s words:
It’s funny cause sometimes when I relive these Zoe moments by writing it down in my blog, I slowly feel my energy draining. No joke.
Kayden – Kay Kay (his nickname in school)
Where are you?- Are you?
Pwee – Please
Brobee- Broh
Toodee – Toodee
Plex – Peh
Muno – Muno
Banana – Nana
Ernie – Ernie
Abby – Abuhdah
Juice – Gee
Milk & Water- Milk
Go – Go
-He can dance on command.
-At the end of Yo Gabba Gabba, DJ Lance always says “It’s almost time to go!” and then all the characters whine “AwwWW!” Kayden goes “AaaHHH”
-I’ll say to Kayden “Did somebody say…?” and he’ll say “NANA (banana)?!” (it’s a song from Fresh Beat for those that don’t know)
-If you say “Kayden, shoes off” he’ll sit down and wait for you to take off his shoes
-If you say “Kayden, get me a bib” he’ll go grab one from his bib basket
-When you say “hold still” he’ll put his hands in the air like he’s freezing and then when you say “Wiggle wiggle wiggle” he starts giggling while shaking his whole body
-Sometimes when I’m helping him take off his t shirt at night i’ll leave it part way on his head so he looks like a child nun. He’ll look in the mirror and say “ihbeuhdah” (I’m pretty)

Zoe’s Daily Funny:
I forgot what C was telling her to do. He asked her to do something. Something equivalent to like “for dinner you have to eat all your food and 3 pieces of broccoli” and her response to whatever it was that he said was…
Zoe: Are you kidding me?! Dad!? Are you kidding!?!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Zoe’s in Philly. I miss her. Hahahaha. Kayden asked for her while I was putting some of her clothes away in her room Sunday night. “Noona?…..Noona?” No Noona Kayden. I called my sister Sunday night after I put Kayden down to see how Zoe was doing (we had dropped her off that afternoon). “She didn’t ask about you guys once” was my sister’s response. Chi~. That’s fine. ‘Surely she will ask about us tomorrow’ I thought to myself. Tomorrow came. She didn’t ask. Punk child of mine. I called her a little past 4. This was my 30 second conversation with Zoe on monday on the phone…
Zoe: Hi Keun Umma (An aunt’s title on the father’s side).
Me: (?) Zoe?
Zoe: Mommy!!! Hi!
Me: Hi Zo! How are you doing?
Zoe: MommyIloveyouareyoucomingtoday?
Me: No
Zoe: Yessssss……
Me: So how are you doing?
Zoe: Um….Uh….I gotta go now and play with my friends.
Me: Wait! No you stay on the phone with me RIGHT NOW!
Zoe: I love you mommy bye!
Halmeh: Hello? Zoe kiss mommy bye.
Zoe: (getting back on the phone) *muah*
Me: Oh gee thanks (she’s already run off)
Halmeh: Hi.
Me: Hi Mom. My daughter doesn’t miss me.
Halmeh: Hahahahaha she’s sooo busy.
Me: I know. It’s ok.Sad, Mommy is. We talked to her for a bit monday night. She was telling us that Ellis, her cousin, got in trouble 2 times in her class that day because he kept “bothering her”. I told her she had to watch out for Ellis the way she watched out for Kayden. Ellis has never been to school. The teacher told my sister that she could tell that Ellis thinks of himself a pretty hilarious, which is why he was probably getting in trouble. Hahahaha. He’s such a wild child. My sister also told me that Lily, the 7yr old girl that lives next to my mother’s house, was talking to my sister about Zoe…
Lily: It’s weird cause that little girl is small, but she talks like you.Gurrrrrrl, but my sister don’t talk that much.
I talked to her for a little bit yesterday. She was pretty good responding to my questions and telling me about her day. Then after about 3 minutes she goes…
Zoe: Mommy?
Me: Yes?
Zoe: I love you but can I go and play.
Me: *sigh* Fine.
Zoe: YESSSSSSS!
She also told me that she had an “accident” in her underwear at school. I hear my sister in the background saying “Did you tell your mommy about your accident YESTERDAY?” WHAT?!!! I started lecturing her. My sister got on afterwards and said “I thought you said she was potty trained?” SHE IS! Ok. So the thing with Zoe is she hates bathrooms. Especially public. She’s scared that the toilet is going to automatically flush before she gets on it. she’s scared the hand dryer is going to turn on while she’s on the toilet. Like it’s the sound of the toilet flushing or the hand dryer going off that scares her a lot. She’s like really sensitive to it. Yet she can scream like a banshee at her highest decibel just fine. Did I ever tell you about the time we were at Target and she had just rubbed soap all over her hands and someone turned on the hand dryer and she automatically put her hands to her ears with all this foam on it and started to cry? *sigh* Oh. Em. Jee. Anyhoots I figure this is why she had her accidents. She’s probably holding it in cause she’s scared to go by herself. She wants someone to assure her that the toilet isn’t going to flush on it’s own and while she pees she wants to cover her ears “just in case” and if she’s washing her hands she wants someone to cover her ears “just in case”. She’s a hot mess when it comes to public bathrooms.:: 06.23.12 :: Kayden & His Crew
Note: This is what he does when I say “Kayden smile!”
He was SOOOO GOOD at the barber shop! He didn’t cry or whine once. I was SO PROUD of him. -

Happy mothers day to all the wonderful mothers out there. I wish you the best weekend ever.

YouTube: What Are You Doing New Years Eve
I LOVE Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Yes he was just a kid on 3rd Rock From The Sun but MY he has grown. He’s just so cute. I just wanna take him home and take care of him and set him up on dates. Hahahaha. And I love Zooey Deschanel and her beautiful dreamy voice when she sings. Here’s a video they made together and posted on YouTube right before New Year.

Stop Looking at Her Chengpi’s
Zoe’s Daily Funny:
So I am trying to teach Zoe to be modest when it comes to her body. Especially in front of boys….father included (although he isn’t really happy about this). So I’ve already showed her how she should sit if she’s wearing a skirt or a dress because “we don’t show boys those types of things”. The new thing lately though is she tries to cover up her little ant sized nipples when she’s changing. Let me give you a scenario from last weekend. Zoe and I were in my bedroom changing out of our pj’s when her dad walks in and all of a sudden Zoe’s like…
Zoe: AHPAH CAN SEE OUR CHENGPI!
Freeze. Chengpi or chengpiheh in Korean means to be embarrassed. It’s usually used in a verb form. Girlfriend is using it as a noun. At this time I took off my shirt and was totally naked from the waist up and then Zoe started yellling….
Zoe: MOMMY YOUR CHENGPI IS SHOWING! QUICK LET’S GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BED! AHBAH CLOSE YOUR EYES!
Hubs: Zoe honey it’s ok. Daddy’s ok.
Me: ZOE RUN! AHPAH CAN SEE OUR CHENGPI!
Zoe: STOP LOOKING AT MY CHENGPI AHBAH!!!! (we’re both making a mad dash to the other side of the bed)
Zoe: Ahbah stop looking at my chengpi!
Me: Yeah! Stop looking at my chengpi too. Quick Zoe put on your shirt!
Zoe: Ahbah turn around and stop looking at my chengpi! Ahbah’s looking at my chengpi mommy!
Hubs: Zoe’s it’s ok. It’s just daddy!
Zoe: MOMMY AHBAH’S LOOKING AT MY CHENGPI!
Me: Ahbah turn aroundC turns around with his back to us. However he is now facing the mirror and can still see us.
Me: OH NO AHBAH CAN STILL SEE YOUR CHENGPI!
Zoe: (rushing to put on her clothes) AHBAH DON’T LOOK AT MY CHENGPI! Girls are not supposed to see boys chengpi’s and boys are not supposed to see girls chengpi’s right mom?
Me: Right.
Poor C. I know he’s thinking she doesn’t even have boobs yet but it’s a much scarier world now. Don’t you think?:: 12.07.11 :: Happy Birthday To Me (iPhone)
Celebrating it with my favorite people, my family. Damn. I old now that I think about it.
:: 12.08.11 :: Birthday Lunch Date (iPhone)
So instead of finding a sitter we played hookie, dropped the kids off at school, and took the bus into the city for our lunch date at 11 Madison Park. Everything was good till we hit course 9. Holy crap they had a cheese on that plate that looked like it was impersonating blue cheese. I had it and my face kind of got distorted. The hubs had it and he felt the same. The best way that I could describe the taste was the weekend before we had Jonah’s birthday party at Turtleback Zoo. There is a stable area with barn animals and you can smell that barnyard smell once you get close. If you could put that in a solid form of some sort…THAT’S what that cheese tasted like! The husband agreed.

Ice Cream & The New Fridge
Zoe’s Daily Funny:
Last night I was helping Zoe put her pj’s on and her giant noggin got stuck while putting her shirt on. I helped her push her head through and right after she hugged me and said…
Zoe: Aww mommy. You’re the best mommy I ever did have.
Me: I know. I’m your only mommy.
Zoe: Thank you for helping me. I knew you could do it. I knew you could do it mom!We have been without a fridge for 24 days and then our new fridge arrived this past tuesday! Woohoo! Crazy huh? Our 3yr old fridge broke down Christmas Eve and we have been living out of an ice box since. I called. I bitched. I emailed. I bitched. The repair guys have been here 5 times. I sent a final bitchy email. I won our money back. Hot Dog! Victory is ours! I remember the first email I sent to customer service I bcc’d my husband and I basically wrote that this is the 2nd time the fridge has broken down in 3 years for the same exact problem. If it happens again what are YOU going to do about it?! My husband im’s me and writes “You’re such a bitch. I love you.” After the guys came the 5th time and still couldn’t fix it I told the hubs and he told me to send another bitchy email. I wrote. I bcc’d him again. He im’s me “That the girl I married. I love you so much.” hahaha…. Just as long as the target isn’t you right? Thank God we have a working fridge. Tonight I am making Ina Garten’s perfect roast chicken. Have you tried it? The chicken comes out perfectly and it’s sooo good. I have to say, Zoe was super excited to finally be able to have ice cream again in the house. Kayden too come to think of it. Last night the hubs was walking around the kitchen with a small tub of ice cream and Kayden was just following him around and all I could hear was “Mow? Mow? Mow? Mow? Mow?” That’s how the boy says “more”.
