Zoey the WONDEFUl

Zoey is a wonder. Full of good cheer and love but quick to fight for what is hers and give voice to her wants and needs. She will turn three on March 24th and everyday I think about how I want to treasure these moments with her while she is still a two year old. She is not defined by expectations that others might have of two year old angst and so far temper tantrums are nonexistent, she potty trained at 29 months and after a month of wearing undies she quit wearing a pullup to bed. Her bladder control is unreal for a two year old. She wakes up and doesn’t pee right away and will sometimes wait for an hour. I MAY need to make her drink more water.
She is hilarious and keeps us in stitches with her poopy jokes. She loves to play with her brother and bestie, Lolapop. Zoey likes to keep me company in the kitchen and make her own recipes. I can count on her to construct her own breakfast. I put out the bread, peanut butter and jelly and she makes her own “toast”. She also likes to help with preparing veggies for dinner and baking cookies.

We have a lot of nicknames for her. Zo-Bo, Tiny and Zoey-Co are the top picks, she generally likes it but sometimes she protests with “I not tiny, I Zoey!” Which is so cute and I have to keep calling her Tiny.
She likes being a big girl but also enjoys pretending that she is a baby. When we go to Target she wants to lay down in the baby seat that is for newborn – 6 months. I usually let her because it is so funny and I can strap her in.
Zoey loves to eat and is always hungry first thing in the morning. She loves toast, SuperK with strawberries, strawberry yoghurt and eggs. For lunch she always wants to have a sandwich. She usually eats whatever we make for dinner with no fuss. She loves cucumber and salad! But like her brother she doesn’t eat raw tomatoes. She loves her gummy vitamins and I have caught her plenty of times sneaking extra vitamin C.
When she is naughty we put her in time out. She will usually agree and sit down and wait out her punishment with no arguments. I don’t know if it is super effective punishment.
I am crazy in love!
