Baby Zoe,
You read me like a book, and manipulate me, just to delay bedtime. Eventually I figure out your game, but you modify it, and always stay one step ahead.
Initially, when we would put you in bed, you'd ask for Agua-Milk, Agua-Milk, drink a few sips, give the cups back, lie down, sit up and start asking for Agua-Milk over and over and over again.
Then you learned to say "Ham hungry." Having figured out that mommy could never let you go hungry, you added that to your nightly repertoire. Initially I believed you, event felt guilty for having sent my little baby to bed hungry. Many a nights, we cut short our efforts to put you to sleep, went to the kitchen, gazed at the fridge, looking for things you wanted to eat. Eventually I figured out that you were tricking me just to stay up, so you had to find another mommy weakness.
Your new game is "pipi," When we put you in bed, you want to use the potty to pee, although the convenience of peeing in your diapers doesn't bother you at all during the day. You fooled us a few times. We took you to the bathroom, excited that you wanted to use the potty, removed your diapers, waited, proud and happy, and waited, and waited, and no pee came out.
Although you fool us, these tricks also prove that you're a smart little girl that takes notice of things that matter to us.
Kiss,
Mommy.

Long sentences
Baby Zoe,
Last week when I came to pick you up from daycare, you were on the seesaw. When you saw me, you ran to me and sang "seesaw up and down, seesaw up and down" For months, you enjoyed listening to others sing that song you you, as you moved up and down, and now, you are proudly singing it to me.
When your eye got infected you said "my eye hurts" and when you were hungry, you asked for "more soup please."
On the way home from daycare, I've been often telling you that soon you'll be able to tell me everything about your day, as in "mommy, today we played outside, mommy, today we drew pictures and sang songs, mommy, the lunch was delicious..." That day, Zoe, is very close.
Love,
Mommy
