recent zuzu musings

Last week at Von Maur, with Zuzu in my arms while I try on shoes:

"Mommy, LOOK!" (Zuzu wildly points over yonder). "Those men are NAKED!" (I look over, relieved, to see the headless/limbless underwear manikins in the men's department). "And Mommy!" (Zuzu is shouting now) "I can see their NIPPLES!" (I put the shoes back on the rack. We leave the store).

Two weeks ago at Lowes:

Zuzu dramatically announces she has a dirty diaper. She awkwardly leans over a lawn chair in the summer clearance section and yells "popo!" Ty runs out to the car to get her diaper bag. While we wait, Zuzu repeatedly tells me what's in her diaper. People in the store stop making eye contact. Either they think I'm not going to change my kid's poopy diaper, or the smell starts to make their eyes sting. Ty returns with the diaper bag and takes her to the men's room. In the midst of changing what is reportedly a humdinger, Zuzu looks at Ty very sweetly, smiles, and says, "it was just a little toot."
