My friend Becky and I were talking about how our kids go through stages. Zoe is going through the trying three-and-a-halfs. There are tantrums, crying and testing. I'm not always successful, but I try to remind myself that it's just the stage. In six months we'll be in a new stage.
All throughout Zoe's life, I love the stage we're in, but always ready for the next one when it comes. I think this crying stage is the first one I really am not fond of.
However, it does come with some hilarious sides too. She's starting to show her imagination. She's telling jokes she's made up now. Here's a sample:
How does the photos get to Costco?
With your fingers!
That leads to much laughter from Zoe herself.
She's also starting to play practical jokes on people. She has a whoopie cushion that she'll squeeze and they blame someone. This weekend she was in the backseat and N was driving. This was her conversation:
You need a tissue daddy.
I do baby?
Yep, all the boogies are running out.
Which led N to look directly at me and go, "is there a bat in the cave?" He was totally paranoid. There were no bats, but a big smile on Zoe's face as she whispered "April Fools!"
I think it's safe to say there will be much fake laughter and some paranoid parents in the next phase.
