Weirdness

The last couple of days were weird for Z. She was great, and went with the flow, even though her normal schedule was a bit off kilter.

Thursday, we got a phone call late from Zoe's daycare provider, Laura, who said she was too sick to take the kids. It was too late for me to take a day off and call in for a sub (we have to do it by 6am). So, Noah took the opportunity to work from home. Then, he brought her to school just before the end of the day where Z got to meet some of my students and then walked around the school meeting some of my friends at work before going to PAAAHHH-TY at my holiday party down the street from our school. Zoe was decked out in a striped red and pink dress Auntie Darcy had given her. We couldn't have asked for better behavior. She hammed it up with the workers, socialized, played, ate dinner with us (including chowing on a breadstick from my dinner), and just had a great time with my co-workers. Zoe was complimented on her behavior SO many times. She would talk and play with anyone who looked at her, didn't have a problem with anyone holding her, and didn't have an issue with the noise, closeness, or anything else. Zoe was WONDERFUL! She had SO much fun, and she was SO tired, she fell asleep before I was even out of the parking lot and then went down when we got home without a fight.

that was at about 6:30 (when we got home). She didn't wake up until 8am Friday morning!!!!!

Today, she managed one nap. That was probably because she slept in so late (for her). And, she isn't feeling too well. She has one red cheek (probably just dry skin) and a runny nose. She was originally going to spend another day home with her Daddy, but Laura called and said it was okay for her to come for the morning. Only the morning because *I* had an early release. Why would I have a random early release? The upcoming snowstorm, of course. Picked up Z, and she was falling asleep in her carseat in the 5 minute drive home. Again, I just put her down (she should have had lunch, but when she couldn't keep her eyes open with me holding her, I knew tiredness was winning out) and not an argument from Zoe. She slept 2 1/2 hours and woke up NOT HAPPY...that's what happens when you sleep that long and wake up hungry!!! She was MUCH happier after eating a little somethin' somethin'.

This weekend is going to be a full weekend. We have a party at Kate and Eric's (annual holiday party) and then a party at Grandma and Grandpa B's house! That includes some gingerbread house making!!

I have more pictures to post, and will, after the weekend festivities!!
