I was uploading a picture I took this morning when I remembered that my girls had my camera yesterday. I had no idea what they were doing with it and was surprised with this.
I had no idea that Zoe could do this voice.
And it cracked.me.up!
I have tape on my camera to keep the batteries from falling out. Zoe scratched off the goo that the tape was leaving on my camera and that is what she is playing with while doing homework and putting on a show. She IS up and coming!
Recently there was a busy conversation going on in my house and Zoe made quite the funny comment in the background. Because of the clutter of the conversation, I heard it but was too involved with getting my word in to someone else that I didn't acknowledge it right away. Then Nolan said, "Waitwaitwait, did you just hear Zoe? That was funny!! I think Zoe is Up and Coming!"
Then just the other day, Zoe came up with this video. I am telling you, she wrote the script, did the costume design, directed it....everything.
Well, the very beginning, between Nolan and I, was improvised. Homie wouldn't say his part so I hurried up and said something before the door bell rang. p.s. sorry we didn't clean up the t.p. before taping.
As if that is not enough, Zoe also invented this hairdo that Noami is modeling.
It's the Braided Triple Braid. How awesome is it?!
If someone did actually invent this before Zoe did, please don't tell me. I am wanting to stay this impressed.
Zoe decorated this picture of herself two years ago, I believe it was.
I love my Zoe with every fiber of my being, and then more.
Zoe has the sweetest speech impediment that I often think... hey, if she were born in another country, it wouldn't matter that he can't pronounce an R. But here is the cutest story- yesterday she was telling me about a friend in her class name Reggie. She said he is funny and nice... she just hates saying his name... because of her speech, when she says it, it sounds like Weggie.
We talking about it and she decided she will, from now on, call him by his full name, Reginald.
However this cracked me up. My 20 year old son (with not an ounce of fat on him) has been eating quite junky ever since he was old enough to buy his own junk food whether I liked it or not, suddenly is eatin' clean. He made this decision late one night and so he onviously felt the need to get rid of what you see pictured above. I woke up to the ding dongs and note on my kitchen counter.
This is Gary- then 19. And me- then 14. This picture was taken years before we dreamed of auditioning for the roll of parents...
