Half Skips and Bagel Talk


Half Skips

I've realized recently that after 17 years, this is my LAST year being a full time mom.  Next year, Zibbi will start 4K.  I'm equal parts terrified and elated at the prospect of having a few hours each day to myself.  Seems like a lot of pressure.  Knowing I am near the end, makes me treasure these fleeting last moments of togetherness with Zibbi.  Those 3-year-olds, they are such a combination of cute and exasperating.  I always say it's a good thing they are so cute or there would be big trouble.  Here are a few recent Zibbi stories.  

Bagel Talk
This morning, I made Zibbi a bagel (her favorite).  She likes to help prepare them (or anything for that matter).  As she was putting the two pieces together, I heard the bagels say--"Hey, don't squish me!  Hey I have to or we can't be together."  Even her breakfast is super entertaining right now.  

Sock Talk
Which leads me to what happened yesterday in yoga class.  Zibbi became bored of what the teacher was suggesting she do, so instead she collected yoga blocks and socks.  Then the socks proceeded to walk and jump across all the blocks in a fancy dance.  

Half Skip
For some reason, only one side of Zibbi's skip works right now.  So she spends her days "half" skipping around the house.  I'm almost not looking forward to when she actually learns how to do both sides.  

I know these stories seem so trivial and I know they will soon pass from our memories, which is why I chose to remember them here.
