Busy day

Exciting things that happened today:

1. Zoey had her two-year check up and is growing fantastically. She is 36.5 inches tall (which puts her in the 97th percentile for height) and 30.8 pounds (90th percentile). I learned that binkies and temper tantrums are all perfectly normal at this age (my MIL will be comforted to hear this) and that we won't know if Zoey has OCD due to her chronic nail-picking until she is at LEAST four years old. I am hoping this is a phase that passes long before we hit the four-year-old mark.

2. We had Ari over to play all afternoon and, because they wore each other out, they both took smashingly long naps and I was able to accomplish many things on my to-do list.

3. Zoey finally, FINALLY finished opening her birthday presents. She has a two-present attention span, which has drawn the whole process out for days. God only knows what Christmas will be like.

4. Zoey continued her new love affair with her shopping cart and doll high chair. Added to the mix was a sock monkey from Auntie Rikki--I have named her Money, as this is how Zoey pronounces monkey. Money sat at the table for breakfast, "ate" an apple, apparently made an invisible mess that Zoey enthusiastically had to "clean" when we were all done, and rode to her doctor's appointment buckled in to Ari's car seat right next to her. Money is currently sitting next to me in the shopping cart...I am waiting for Zoey to realize precious Money is missing from her goodnight regime and begin hollering for her.

5. Kendra and Ari stayed for dinner and the two kids managed to pull every toy Zoey has ever owned out from places I had forgotten I'd hid them.

6. And now, at a little after 8 p.m., it is bed time. For all of us.
