Is there a pause button??

The other day, I had to make a cake for my 8th graders who were moving onto the high school.  It's a special thing I've done the last couple of years, since I've had these guys for 3 years...

Anyway, I had Zoe help me out.  As we're doing this, the Electric Company is on tv in the background...she loves this show.  But she was VERY focused on stirring.  She told me that the show was on but she couldn't turn to look because she was busy.


Then....
'mommy, we'remakingacakeforyourstudentsatschool.Igettostiritall.Iwanttogotoyourschooltoseeyourkids,butIcan'trightnowbecausetherearenokidsandnoteacherstheresotheschoolisclosedrightnow.we'remakingthecakeinstead." 

Oh. My. Goodness. I'm not sure she took a breath.

THAT is how it's like with Zoe when she's excited for something.  Today, walking into Target, there was something similar.  I couldn't pick up nearly as many words, but somehow she was talking about dinosaurs, Father's Day gifts, and her friend Mason's birthday gift.  Woah..
