Playing Hookie

Ok, so I wasn't really playing hookie today. Zander had pink-eye couldn't go to daycare so I stayed home and did nothing really but hang out with him. It was nice. In the morning Zander was a little fussy until I finally got him to fall asleep on my shoulder. Then in the afternoon, he fell asleep on the family room floor--I didn't have the heart to move him. He slept there for almost 2 hours! I love watching him sleep. (Why can't he do that in the middle of the night?)
Zander did have time to pose for a few pictures though. As I was playing with him today, I discovered that he has two top teeth trying to break through. It could explain a lot of the fussiness.

Last Friday there was no daycare so Daddy stayed home with the kids. He brought them both to school to have lunch with me--which I love! Zoey was very excited to be a part of my kindergarten literacy group and they were thrilled to have her there. The kindergarten girls all took Zoey under their wings and helped her sing songs with us, clap her hands and shake her sillies out. When it was time for Tyler and my kids to go home, Zoey didn't want to leave. It was very cute.

Speaking of cute, Zoey loves to watch storybooks on the internet and I am fortunate enough to have a membership through my school that allows us to watch these stories online. So Zoey has gotten into the habit of watching two every night ("Because I'm 2!") She has her favorites, but she also likes to watch new stories. So tonight I told her she could watch the story called Joseph and the Little Overcoat. As I was getting it ready for her, she was playing around and then came up and impatiently said, "I want to watch Jesus and the Little Jacket peas."

So while she watched her story book, I was trying to watch my television show. Zoey gets off her chair and goes and turns off my TV. "I want to hear my storybook!"

Tyler took Zander upstairs to put him to bed and I was folding laundry. I folded up some of Zoey's socks and playfully threw them at her asking her to put them away. All of a sudden, she starts to go upstairs and I ask her where she is going. "I am going upstairs." Why, Zoey? "I going to tell Daddy you hit me!"
