Shea's Kids

Anybody who has spent a little time with Shea knows there is no telling what will come out of his mouth next.  Shea has accumulated a few stuffed animals that stay on his bed at all times.  He calls them "his kids".  Sometimes he'll tell me that his kids were fighting and he had to sit them down and talk with them.  Yesterday he said that his kids stayed home from school because their school was closed for the day.  Today, after nap, Zoe Cate and I went in to his room after his nap and he told me that some of his kids were sick and that Zoe was going to stay home with the sick ones while he took the others the beach. HA!  Sounds like Zoe got the short end of the stick!

We were treated to an after dinner concert tonight. I will let the pictures tell the story.  The LOUD story, as it was.  These kids are lucky they are cute because bedtime was a hot mess tonight and they are lucky I didn't channel my inner Bon Qui Qui.

Overheard

Shea in the living room: "Zoe, I love when your babies get sick!!"

I find him spinning her favorite bear and baby doll in the chair and telling her over and over "Your babies are getting sick! Your babies are getting sick!!"

Typical big brother, no??

Two Peas in a Hamper Pod

Zoe Cate adores her big brother, Shea. ADORES him. She has to do everything he does. She also tries to use the potty like he does and got MIGHTY ticked off this afternoon when I made her SIT on the potty. :)She

Does
Everything big brother does!!!
I love this picture. I love the look on her face "Ok, we have socks on our hands and we are just standing here...I'll just keep watching and follow his lead."

Shea and Zoe have really grown close over the past few months. They play together pretty well. I think ZC would follow Shea in to volcano if it meant being near him. I love watching their relationship blossom!!

Zoe Cate lets Shea get away with a lot of stuff. She fusses when I rinse her hair in the bath but allows Shea to do this:



and thoroughly enjoyed it:

In my own biased Mommy opinion she could not look up to a better boy! I asked Shea to get Charlie's bed out of my bedroom today and bring it in the living room before we left this afternoon. He came running down the hall with Charlie's bed *and* her lovey. He said "Momma! I brought her lovey, too, because I know how much she loves it." What a sweetheart!

Shoes, shoes, shoes!

Zoe Cate is definitely a girl after her Momma's heart! She asks for her shoes about a million times a day. "Shoes? Shoes?? Shoes!" She and I were in a shoe store the other day and she watched patiently while I tried on several shoes. Finally, she had to get in on the action! "Momma? Shoes?" She was smiling so big and picked out a pair of shoes to try. She looked like such a big girl trying on her shoes. Much like her Momma, she was none to happy to put them back on the shelf!!

Here she is in one her fave pair of shoes. She is singing "Until the Whole World Hears" to her baby!

HamBiskit!!!!!! No caption needed on this one. We love you, Zoe Cate!
