Facebook ate my blog

Wouldn't you know it.. I had just decided to start this blog and transfer over my old blogs from the facebook application and now I can't get to any of my old blogs...I really hope it comes back online soon as there are some precious memories captured.  Otherwise my task over the holidays will be to dredge some of them from the back of my mind somehow and rewrite them and from now on I will be keeping a hard copy!!

More Oldies

More past blogs.....

Powers of observation

“I’ve got a big tummy like Daddy’s”
“Nanni is a good kisser, but Mummy is the best kisser”

(14 Oct 2007)

Freudian songs

Everything is about poo these days....Zoe makes up some lovely songs…
“Baa baa poo sheep
Poo poo poo
Poo for the mummy
Poo for the dad
pop the booby
who lives down the lane.”
Brilliant.

Hidden insight? 

Zoe was examining her Dad’s hairy chest this evening and pretended to eat his booby…
“I’m eating your booby Daddy”
“Oh really - what does it taste like?”
“ummm, fear” (23 Oct 2007)

How does that old hymn go? 

You know the one, the one Zoe was singing yesterday....it starts with…
“Jesus did a poo on his head...”(4 Nov 2007)

Culturally sensitive

Zoe was at the mall today with Dad when she said to him loudly “There are lots of Maori people here today Daddy.”
Not quite as bad as the other day when we were walking home from preschool and we walked past some rough looking guys outside the hilton (pub).  One was a skinhead with tatts on his head...“that man has a moko on his head mummy....” - luckily they thought it was funny! (7 Oct 2007)

Crisis of faith

One night after a struggle to get through the bedtime routine...one frazzled mum and one grumpy Zoe....attemping to get through the prayers quickly I start off for Zoe…
“Thankyou God for today...”
“No! No- mummy! I don’t like that God anymore!”
“Well Zoe I think you’ll find that Christianity is a monotheistic religion...if you would like more choice than that perhaps you should consider becoming a Hindu....” (4 Oct 2007)

Note to self....

…must remember to keep the toilet door shut now that Hamish is crawling...I found him in there this morning licking the toilet brush...yummy!

Good Intentions

Every time I catch Zoe doing something she shouldn’t and I go to tell her off or put her in time out she yells at me passionately....“I WANT TO BE A GOOD GIRL!”
And when she is being too rough with Hamish and I need to intervene...“but he likes it mummy...” (28 September 2007)

Bilingual Zoe

Zoe is into speaking Maori at the moment - which means she throws random Maori sounding words into her sentences...my favourite so far, when looking for something then exclaims loudly....“there’s my whakanui lid!” There is also the made up word she likes to shout “Wha-ku” - she did this to Auntie Su down the corridor when we visited her at work… (28 September 2007)
