Distinction

Zoey goes to half-day Kindergarten in the morning at one school and then attends an afternoon enrichment program at her former preschool. Kaia has labeled the first "Zoey's new school," which makes sense since we've been dropping off Zoey at the other school for 2 1/2 years. Her "old" school, however, Kaia has labeled "Zoey's white school." It's a red brick church... but we go with it, anyway, everyday.

ANY time Kaia is trying to wake up a sleeping doll, Daddy, or Mommy she yells, "Cock-a-doodle! Cock-a-doodle!"

Now, that's a stretch...

The other day I heard the girls playing together in their bedroom:

Z: Kaia, let's pretend we're sisters and we live in this house.

K: Okay, and you is bigger than me.

Z: Yeah, and let's pretend this is our bedroom.

K: Okay! And can we pretend this is my bed?

Z: Yeah, and let's pretend Mommy is folding laundry.

K: Okay!

We pass the Doylestown Hospital almost every single day, most days multiple times a day. I can't remember exactly when she started this, but every. single. time. we pass it Kaia exclaims (and by exclaims I mean EXCLAIMS): MOMMY! LOOK, IT'S MY NEW HOSDIPAL! THAT'S WHERE I GOT BORNED! Her excitement every time makes me happy, and the novelty has yet to wear off.
