Zion-isms
As we’re leaving the McDonald’s drive-thru…
Zion: That was a ga-wohl (girl). I hate ga-wohls.
Mommy: What?! Why do you hate girls??
Zion: I just hate little ga-wohls. Except I don’t hate Layla. And Gabe and Israel don’t hate Layla. They think she’s a quootie-pie. And I think she’s a quootie-pie too. And Dad thinks she’s a teense. And you think she’s a princess.
**************
(As Zion and Layla are “racing” back and forth down the hallway as I work on unpacking Layla’s clothes from Christmas)
Zion: Mom, I was in first place and I won!!
Me: Good job!!
(We both pause to look at Layla, who is delightedly stretched out on a bed of clothes in the hallway, wiggling her feet happily and grinning.)
Zion: (with happy relish) And Layla was in the Cutie Pie place and the Princess Place! (He finds his sister very cute when he is not finding her very annoying.
)*************
(This was the face he made when I told him to smile.
It makes me grin widely.)
