Scary Scooby
In about 15 minutes Saturday, Zoe went from normal to hoarse and sneezing. We'd been to Port Discovery in Baltimore, and had a blast as usual. But it's also a den of viruses, and I guess Z got one. So Sunday we mostly stayed home. I scanned some pix of her http://sn.im/zoe2009 in the afternoon. We went to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I liked it, but like Monsters vs Aliens, it doesn't reach the level of Pixar in storytelling. The physics were really outstanding, though, and there were a lot of clever lines and cultural references, and a few adult in-jokes. Zoe got scared toward the end, but once it was over, she said she really liked it.

In the evening, I let her watch Scooby Doo, and at 11:30 I heard a shriek coming from upstairs. She had a scary Scooby Doo dream, so she slept with me after that. Then this morning she woke up crying a bit again, saying "Daddy I dreamed that Mommy got invited to a birthday party and I didn't." Then she went back to sleep for another two hours.

So no more Scooby Do in the evening.
