Zoey at five: 15 things

1. She's so sweet and kind and funny and endearing...
2. Is a little reserved until she gets to know you, then loud and boisterous and full of ideas and plans...
3. She sees herself as an engineer...right now she's working on a "Back in Time Machine." And she's frustrated that it's not yet operational...
4. She likes to do art and be read to, ride her bike and go to the hot springs (she's a great swimmer already), be outside but also play board games and "restaurant" and build forts... "Want to play with me Mommy?" is something I hear a lot...
5. She love, love, loves her Daddy. I know she loves me too but she makes it very clear her preference is for Daddy Time whenever she can get it...
6. She always does her chores, although she hates feeding the dog at night...
7. Right now she's loving the My Little Pony party game on her iPad. And Elena on TV...
8. She likes scratchie and song at night, but then likes me to get her a few books so she can read herself to sleep...and it has to be different books every night...and they can't be scary...and she like her fan on...and certain blankets put on in a certain way...
9. She likes to--no, insists on--dressing herself. "Mommy, you don't pick out my outfit. I do!" she said to me the other day. She loves dresses. No jeans...
10. She's super sweet to her Bubs. Except when she's not. Which is generally when she wants some alone time and he's not giving it to her...
11. She's good about eating healthy food but doesn't eat a lot...
12. Her smile and laugh melts my heart...
13. She gives me lots of snuggles and love, but she also wants her space at times...
14. Her favorite color is pink...oh, and she thinks that hugs cure hiccups...
15. She's the best daughter I could possibly have...love her madly...
