Big Girls Bed

Zoe has been asking for a "Big Girls Bed" quite a bit since starting her new school last week. So, yesterday, Labor Day, we went to Ikea and got her a new bed.

Karaoke Girl!

We went to a family friend's house for a birthday celebration this evening. When our friend Teri broke out the Karaoke, guess who took over the microphone and belted out "Twinkle, Twinkle" , "The ABC Song" and "You Are My Sunshine". She also got me to join her in a duet of "I Just Can't Wait to be King" from Lion King. Here are a few photos of the gang:
