Conversation with Zane - August 25

My recent conversation with Zane while we were trying to leave the library...

Me (holding a wiggly Laurel while four other kids are already headed out the door): Let's go Zane. It's time to go to the park.

Zane (as he is starting to take off his sandals): Otay, Mom. Jus' lemme feel how soft dis couch is real twick.

Zane (after taking approximately one minute to get his sandals off): Ohhhhh, it's really soft!

Me: OK, let me have your shoes and I'll carry you. It's time to go.

Zane (while starting to put on his shoes): No Mom, I'm going to put dem on. Tan you jus' wait up for me? Otay?

Me: OK, can I help you put them on?

Zane: No, thank you. I'll do it myself.

Zane (after taking approximately two minutes to get one sandal on): Otay Mom, you can help me with dis one.

Me (setting Laurel down): OK, let's get this done so we can go.

Zane (pushing my hands away): Dats nuf Mom...I tan finish it.  There, I dot it.  Now we tan go.

Noni Dresses! - August 2

Mom took the girls to pick out fabric for some dresses when they were visiting us in June. They arrived in the mail last week and the girls couldn't wait to wear them to church on Sunday...

These dresses are perfect for...

skipping...

twirling...

or just sitting and looking pretty!

Thanks, Noni! We love our new dresses!
