Food, Glorious Food

LittleZabba has discovered the wonderful world of food! Tonight she had her first taste of rice cereal. BigZabba was so excited to see LittleZabba eat real food. She could hardly contain her enthusiasm. LittleZabba had not idea what was about to happen, but BigZabba was just thrilled!


I didn't know what LittleZabba would do, but she seemed to know exactly what she was supposed to do. She saw the spoon coming, opened her mouth and ate! She started to get really into it, she kept grabbing my hand to put the spoon in her mouth and she would lean forward to get the next bite. She ate the entire bowl! She even cried when I took her out of the chair. LittleZabba has just grown up a little bit.

BigZabba's Stories

Enjoy the stories from the mind of a 3 year old....

The cat didn't have one puppy. And the dog had 18 babies. And the girl walked over to the cat and tried to get the chance over. So they walked and walked until they got to the park. And they loved their children all cuddled and in apart. And I hope all my kids get a good time, the cat said. The End

Dog loved ring around the rosey. So they wanted to play at the park. Cat and Dog wanted to play at the park. So she wanted to go home with her Mommy so she wanted all today she wanted to think and think until the mask show was over. The Mommy she hugged the kid and gave her a tight good good big kiss. The End

Once upon a time there was a little girl who had 2 babies. And she didn't have a Mommy, but she had a Daddy. So she loved the little girly. She laid down in bed whenever she wants her puppy. She got so many dollys, had good manners and watched tv. The Mommy stopped running, and then the Daddy had to go to work. The Daddy worked along time until the story was over. The next day she just got a candy cane. The End.

This is the Run That Never Ends

Sing with me...

"This is the run that never ends...It just goes on and on my friends. We just started running cuz' we didn't know what to do and now we're out here sweating until the day is through. This is the run that never ends...It just goes on and on my friends..."

woo-hoo!

Dr. De Soto

So the dentist didn't really go as planned, but it all worked out. BigZabba was all excited about going to the dentist, she was ready to be a big girl. We got in the room, and I think the dentist rushed things a bit too much and my "big girl" suddenly melted into a puddle. She didn't want to sit in the chair, didn't want to wear the paper bib, really didn't want to look at the dentist and kept saying over and over again, "I really don't want to do anything!" So, sobbing, because she thought she wouldn't be able to turn 4, she got down and sat with LittleZabba while I got my teeth cleaned.
Once I was done she decided that she was ready to try again. She sat on my lap, bravely opened her mouth for the dentist, and did her best to not squirm while he brushed her teeth. (I would be interested to know what the dentist will charge the insurance company for her visit...45 seconds of looking in her mouth followed by 1 minute of brushing/polishing..maybe I am in the wrong business.)
Now thinking about her meltdown I wonder if her fear came from one of her favorite books, Dr. De Soto...a mouse dentist who pulls the tooth of a fox, using "tooth grabbers". She did make a comment about the tooth brush having a tooth grabber on the end..hmm..maybe that is what it was all about.
At least we got this first visit out of the way and hopefully the next will be a piece of cake!

The Zabbas are Growing Up!

Today is a big day in the life of my Zabbas.

This morning LittleZabba rolled over! She wasn't as excited as I was, but she did look surprised to be looking at the world from a different angle.

This afternoon BigZabba will be going to the dentist for the first time. She is super excited, because after the dentist she will be allowed to turn 4! (I told her that the dentist wouldn't let her turn 4 until she got her teeth checked. So she decided that she could be a big girl and let him look at her teeth..only so she could turn 4..who wants to be 3 forever?)

"Freelancer to Base Camp"

These last few days have been so great.

Yesterday I went with a friend to the set of Alias! I am such a fan of that show!! Being on the set was just such a blast. I was able to meet & shake hands with, Jennifer Garner, Ron Rifkin & Victor Garber. I even saw Michael Vartan on his bike. I know it is silly, but it was fun to see them in person. It was a lot of fun. I was quite star struck so I tried to play it cool and not act too much like a crazed fan.

Today I went to the LA Textile show. I was able to get some more of our current fabrics, as well as some new fabric to start a new line of AllyZabba blankets. It worked out really well because DaddyZabba was able to come with me. He helped take care of the Zabbas and help me make fabric choices.

The Zabbas are in bed, my orders have been shipped & I sit here eating a chocolate muffin. Life is good.

A Little Vacation

On Thursday I got a phone call from my Mom, ShaSha. She asked if she could take BigZabba home with her for a few days. Sure! BigZabba was super excited, even more so because her cousin was going to be there too. It was going to be her first real sleep over! So, after nap time BigZabba left with Papa & ShaSha for her vacation to ShaSha's house. From what I hear they had a super time. There was lots of playing at the park, watching the trains, running..it was a little kid's dream! It is wonderful that my parents are close enough so that they can have these wonderful memory making weekends with the kids. It felt a little strange to only have one child with me for a few days. Life felt so easy. Thanks Mom for the little vacation..not just for BigZabba but me too!
