Cute Quotations from the Little People

I haven't started a baby book for either one of the kids but there are so many cute, precious and tender moments I don't want to forget...

Last week Zeke, Tazara and I were sitting down for lunch. Andrew was substantially late so we were starting to eat without him. Tazara kept looking towards the doorway and saying "Baba? Baba?" Zeke answered her sympathetically "Baba not here Honey." "Baba not here Honey."

A few weeks ago when Zeke was upset with me about something he told me "I'm going away....I'm going to the farm!" I believe I know just how he feels.

On a number of occasions when Zeke has been yelling inside I've told him "Not inside Zeke. If you want to scream go outside." One morning, as Kirstie and I were getting breakfast on the table, Zeke was earnestly talking to me about something or other. I was agreeing while trying to figure out what he was saying. The conversation went something like: "Mama, I not scream inside. I go outside and scream." "Yes Zeke. That's right." Nek minit Zeke is outside the kitchen door calmly shouting and screaming at the top of his lungs in bursts.

I don't think any camera could capture the adorableness of Tazara walking across the sandbox in her pink hat with a red gumboot in each hand.

After bath time this afternoon Zeke and Tazara were monkeying around on the double bed. Tazara would fall on Zeke with a hug until Zeke was thoroughly pinned down. Zeke yelling "Not too much hug Tazara. Not too much hug." They would then laugh, Zeke scrabble out and they'd start the chase all over again.
