with the example of opposable thumbs.
Zoe is almost 2 years old, and she still naps twice a
day for a total of 4-5 hours. I know, I know . . . I'm
so lucky . . . but it's really hard to get out of the house.
A few weeks ago I switched her to just one nap. On
the second day she was so tired at Leah's gymnastics
class that she pulled the changing pad out of the diaper
bag, opened it, and laid down on the nasty floor. After
a few more days, I caved and went back to 2 naps. Ugh.
We forgot to take panda to MI, but we have her with Lake Brevort instead.
Leah likes the equipment.
Zoe is impressed.
Zoe gives it a shot.
This is my best attempt at a picture of the 4 cousins. None of them

We put Zoe to bed, filled up on blueberry cobbler, then Peter,
Uncle Caleb, and Leah headed out for her 1st fireworks (at 9:30!)
Wish us luck tomorrow.

This was her preferred method.
