The other day as we drove into the City, Clara was babbling and said, “Gee zee ma.” To which Millie responded,
“MOM! she said, “gee zee ma”. That means mom’s a genius!”
Aw, shucks, Mills! You can be Clara’s interpreter any day of the week.
She then went on to instruct me that I had to make special mention of this exchange in my blog. Duly noted dearest daughter!
Tonight as we drove home from swimming at the gym we were listening to Eva Cassidy’s rendition of “Kathy’s Song” by Simon and Garfunkel. Millie sighed deeply and said,
“Mom, I L O V E this song. I think about the rain, look out the window and smile.”
And earlier today she treated me to something truly special.
You have to see this to believe it, my friends. Don’t skip the vid, or you will really be missing out on a treat!
FOR RIZZLES! THIS IS HOW I SPEND MY DAYS!
THIS IS MY LIFE!
(ain’t it swell?)
Things I really hope you noticed: What Millie did to my kitchen to make our brunch possible. Also, did you happen to see all the crazy things on the counter top? If not, go back and see if you can spot her her otter and her back pack. Also, I hope you also noticed the the pile of dirty diapers on the stairs – I run a classy establishment!
No doubt you noticed her “make-up” – which is worthy of its very own post. Long before brunch took place Millie decided she wanted to be a “mean rainbow dog” — saving that for another post….it was just as awesome as brunch.
All in a day’s work, people. All in a day’s work!

oh man. You’re right, that was WAY worth watching. At first I thought she had decorated herself in war paint as a “native american”. Hilarious. I can’t believe she is so grown up. I miss you guys!! Can’t wait for our playdate in “the city!!”

c’est formidable! c’est manifique! c’est incredeble! i think SOMEONE (perhaps a rainbow dog) might need a little something something from Fronce. I’ll see what I can do about that. (wink wink)

How do you say, “holy crap” in Fawance? She is killing me. I love that you, the other brunch attendee, got shorted on the strawberries. Clearly that is a Millie favorite.
Also, can we talk about how calm you sound in the video after she made a mess out of your kitchen, colored herself with crayon and is having naked brunch? Bravo, mama. Bravo.

Incroyable! Magnifique! Ooolala! Don’t you just love everything “fronch”?

THIS is why she needs to be featured in my movie! Amazing! “The fruit! Everything!”

I am sitting here with a tissue wiping the tears from eyes because I am laughing so hard! Never will I hear of France again and not think of Millie…the body crayon pushed me over the edge! Merci for the laughs.

That is so great! Nathan made me play it over and over again! We love that girl!

Oh, it’s too, too good! “That’s how yuh say it in Fwance!” I’m gonna try my gosh darndest to make this the new catch phrase in the Zimmer household.

am coming to NY next week. wanna join us for some baby shopping?
I love the fact that you all are there with my Alli. I know that Mille will make sure Stanley Cup knows how it is done in France, and all that important stuff. it is very reassuring to me.

I can’t believe we missed this one. So dang dawsome!
Wondering now if we might hire Millie out as a Fwonce tutor. What’s her going rate these days?
