My Day Was Issac, June

With the bad weather this winter, Cheryl asked if I would pick Zoe up from daycare so she doesn't have to take her both ways. I now take her home after work. Every day, after we walk out the door and I'm carrying her to the sidewalk, I ask her, "How was your day?" Every time she answers, "Issac, June." I'm not sure what that means, but I like to think she's saying she had a great day.

Zoe has been singing more and more songs recently. She does Itsy Bitsy Spider, Happy Birthday and Wheels on the Bus really well, but one of her newer numbers is the Sesame Street theme song. She doesn't know all the words, and sometimes you have to use a little imagination to hear it, but it's there. So when we got home today I started her off with a little "Sunny day." Take a look.


She has such a lovely singing voice, it's just a shame she doesn't always want to use it. Don't believe me? Take a look at another time when I just couldn't get her to sing.


That's all for now. Hopefully we can capture more complete songs in the future, but it's not easy. She knows when she's being filmed and proves it by ignoring the camera.

Meet the Flintstones?!?

Cheryl wanted me to share the following with everyone. These are her words, not mine. Frankly, I know I'm the lucky one. So obviously the blog is Michael's thing, which is great really because if it were up to me it would have started and ended with 99 days left! But I wanted to make a post so I could thank Michael for everything he has done for me throughout this pregnancy and most of all during delivery. There is no question that being with Michael is the smartest thing I've ever done and Zoe is lucky to call him Dad. The reason we had a planned c-section was that Zoe was 'unstable lie'. In the 4 weeks before she was due she was breech, head down, breech, and then head down again. As it was explained to us, this is pretty rare. They expected that even if she was in the right position when I went into labor, she would turn during contractions creating a dangerous situation for all of us. The day of surgery I was still pretty calm. Once I was prepp

Zoe Ninja Warrior

In looking for something to do over the weekend, Cheryl found a gym nearby that has Ninja Warrior equipment and allows children Zoe's age. They had an open drop in time on Sunday from 4:45pm to 7:15pm. To prepare for her day, Zoe put on her exercise outfit, added some body glitter on her shoulders and then used markers to make some tattoos. She looked especially cute and tough. Once we got in, she was all over the place: running up the wrapped wall, swinging on the ropes and rings, jumping on the trampoline. She tried so many times to get up that wall. As soon as the boy in front of her got up it, she was up on her next run. That's a 10 foot wall. Two and a half times her height, and was right up it. She was so excited to get up that thing. Cheryl and I even got in on the action, trying out the different equipment. Here she is, looking amazing at the apex of a bounce on the big trampoline. Zoe was also all over the gymnastics equipment. She really enjoyed sw
