Zoeys Idea of Fun

So Friday Zoey had a check up for her tubs in her ears. Since it was later in the afternoon I didn't have time to go back to work after so we got home a little earlier then normal. Zoey has been attending the Montessori for 3 weeks now and has grown leaps and bounds already. One of the biggest changes is in her independence and desire to help with EVERYTHING. So Friday, after we got home, Zoey decided to help me put on shoes and socks. She found one of my knee highs and a sock! I'm glad she at least found matching shoes for me from the shoe basket! Oh, and she wouldn't let me take them off either. I tried a few times because I wasn't really in the mood to walk around the house in heals but she would fuss each time and sit me down and put my shoes back on for me. Totally cute!

She also decided she wanted to wear her Dora winter hat and she put on another of her uniform shirts over what she was already wearing. She wore this all evening. This picture she's playing with the light switch. It kept her entertained for a while so it was nice!
I did finally get her to do something else though. I put on one of the big PJ shirts I we played with play dough. She loved using the cookie cutters and I showed her how to roll it in her hands to make a ball and roll it on the table to make a snake. We played for quite awhile and had fun. Most of the pictures I took of her she had her tongue hanging out! She was concentrating hard!
Then today, Clay had to work all day again and I really needed some things to get done around the house because I don't have the energy to do much during the week. So, I vacuumed and swept. Zoey loved helping. She was scared of the vacuum but wanted to stay by my side and help push. Every time I brought it back she would step back and say "toes." After I swept and did a quick mop of the kitchen Zoey played with the broom for a good 15 minutes! (I cleaned the bathrooms while she swept)
While she was sweeping she caught a gimps of herself in the oven and decided she was done sweeping! I thought it was so cute!!!
Well, that's the fun we've been up to the last two days. Now I have more things on my list that I'd like to get done so I'm going to get on it so I can go to bed.
