-passes out kisses to everyone
Zoey: "Oh-tay. Be careful. Love you. Come home soon."
-said all in one continuous sentence
Mama: "What are you doing, Zo?"
-asked as Zoey is leaning over the kitchen trash can
Zoey: "Just spitting."
-however, she can't say the 'sp' sound so it comes out as a bad word
Mama: "Why?"
-trying not to laugh
Zoey: "I took a drink and I had too much water in my mouth."
-said while laughing
Zoey: "I hear the ocean."
-said as she holds a sock up to her ear
Mama: "Zoey are you all done going potty?"
Zoey: "Yep. That's all I got."
Mama: "Zoey, who do you want to pray for tonight?"
Zoey: "Grammy, Papa, Millie, Witty, Leo, Dosh."
Mama: "Do you mean Uncle Josh?"
Zoey: "Yeah, Unka Dosh, Unka Witty, Unka Leo, Unka Grammy, Unka Papa, etc..."
As I was taking off Zoey's wet diaper after naptime...
Zoey: "My diaper's a wittle wet. I tied to stay dry."
Mama: "It's OK, Zo. I know you tried."
Zoey: "I tied but the peepee keeped coming out."
-Zoey was looking through the clean clothes basket and came across her new hat and mitten set. At first she could only find one of the mittens. Zoey: "Here's the hat, but there are supposed to be two glubs. Where's the other glub?"
Zoey: "I need something to cuddle with."
Zoey: "First we're gonna go to the zoo and get all the animals and take them on the ark."
-Zoey was going #2 on the potty while Ruby was in the bathtub splashing. Zoey: "Woo-be. This is the truth! No splashing while I'm going poo-poo." -said VERY firmly
-Ruby was trying to get to a lamp cord but Zoey intercepted her and had this very firm, but loving conversation with her. Zoey: "Woo-be, this is the truth. Obey the Lord your God and do His word. Deuteronomy 27:10. This is not for play. It's a no-no. We can't play with this. This is the last time, Woo-be, do." (Woo-be, do = Ruby-do...my nickname for her.)This last one was, by far, my favorite. The best part was the last phrase. Even though in the midst of loving correction, Zoey chose to use Ruby's nickname to make it personal. I love keeping a record of all of these precious conversations. I'm sure there will be more to come, soon.

Love these. She will love reading these years from now as well. Make sure you show the first guy that wants to take her out this blog-specifically this post! :)
Those are so precious. I can just hear her saying everything. She loves her sister so much, I can hardly stand it. I love the way she'll just randomly say, "I just love my Woobee", and she was so sweet at the Turkey Trot, making sure Ruby's mittens were on her hands and that she was tucked in to stay warm. She's hilariously funny and meltingly tender and firmly caring all wrapped up in auch a tiny, adorable package! I'm so glad, Jen, that you take the time in your busy days to keep up with this stuff. We can add your notes to the Leo library, next to the "red book", if you get my drift. 8)
That little Zoey is something else. She's such a riot and she doesn't even know she's funny. So genuine and dear. A wonderful big sister. Don't you just wonder what they're mimicing sometimes?
One of my favorite posts! I even showed Scuba, and he too laughed out loud. It makes me realize that I need to write down what Michael says.
