Another blog about a conversation with a 5-year-old.
Trysten: Mom, Max and Quincy (Jody III's boys, check sidebar) don't have their brother and sister home yet (they're adopting the twins from Sierra Leone) but we have Tariku.
Me: That's right, who did you talk about that with?
Trysten: Quincy, he said he's excited to get them home and play with them. He said he misses them like I missed Tariku before he came home. He said that we're cool because we have brothers and a sister who are from Africa.
Me: Well he's right about all of that!
Trysten: Mom, is Africa cooler than America?
Me: It's just different. Cooler in some ways, not in others.
Trysten: I sure wish I was from Africa. Tariku talks cool and I like his skin because it's my favorite color. Quincy and I wish we had black skin because that's really cool.
Does he get any cuter? I mean, really.
Ok so I liked, no pictures this time but this was an unplanned post. I just have to post when my kids are cute, it's like some motherly thing I think.
The kids are down (it's 7:30) and I've heard 4 flushes of the toilet in 15 minutes. That means only 10 more and they should be down for the count. Boys crack me up.
I'm no writer, I assure you. Just a woman with a few things on her mind. A mom that makes mistakes, a wife that loves her husband more than words can say and a woman constantly seeing God in the everyday.
