He's at work

Yesterday Zoe was pretending to be Ariel from the Little Mermaid. We have the costume, so she slipped it on and was walking around pretending to be this princess. I asked her if she swam. "Not anymore!" "Oh, do you have a prince?" "Yes, but he's at work."

It made me smile because I thought she meant her prince would have to work just like her daddy had to. Later when I was telling Matt this story, it dawned on me what she meant . After I was done telling her daddy how Zoe's prince was at work, Zoe proudly said... "And that's you!!" It wasn't that she recognized that often "princes" have to work, but that daddy was her prince!!

Cute, right?

Zoe's depiction of Micky Mouse

I know every parents is impressed with their kids' artistic capabilities, but I'm telling you, Zoe's got something special!!! Here's her depiction of Mickey Mouse. (Some of it got cut off in the scanner, fyi) A masterpiece!!
