Sometimes I Write

She wore a pink, sequined tiara everywhere we went today. She has her own style. She is always moving and keeping a beat with her feet, fingers, pencils, and anything else that will double as a drumstick. This girl keeps me dancing. She’s a straight A student, and wants to work with animals when she grows up. We joke that having 2 brothers gives her lots of practice. She loves to draw, bake, and skateboard. There is no stereotyping this girl.

A few weeks ago she helped me host a baby shower for my friend Karen. She worked hard and was a sweet little hostess, but she really enjoyed sitting down for a bit to help with the pieces for the baby quilt we are making for Jude. She’s pretty crafty.

After Jude was born, she begged me to ask Karen if she could hold him in the hospital. I think she’s in love.

It both frightens and exhilarates me how much alike we are, but she’s no mini-me. Zoe is her own person – sugar and spice, heavy on the spice!

Happy Birthday Sweet Zoe! 🙂
