Things I love

Right now, we are experiencing an explosion in both children's English language. Earlier this week, Kofi came off the school bus and said "Mommy, I was messin' around on the bus." I had to laugh because one of Eric's phrases around the house is : "Boys, quit messin' around". While I'm glad of the new phrases they are learning, I secretly hope they never get rid of these:

- calling a door "the gate". As in  "Mommy, please open the gate" "Mommy, the gate is locked"
- my vehicle is "private car" or "driving car"
- getting the words "chicken" and "kitchen" mixed up all the time
- any word that ends in the letter "s" must have a "t" added to it. yes is "yest", shoes are "shoest" and     boss is "bosst"


The ultimate proud Mommy moment happened yesterday. I went to pick up Kofi from children's church and he shared that he prayed in front of the k-3 kids group. In his own words:" Mommy, Kofi pray like this. Thank you God for anyone new, learning, no mothers die, food and the Bible. In Jesus name Amen."
