"What the heck???"

Zion is really coming up with some doozies here lately. He new favorite terms include "What the heck", "Oh my goodness", "Get off me dude", "Whatever dude"! Where does he get this stuff.

"I had it first"

Jayden and Zion were riding with me in the back seat and of course they were arguing about everything under the sun. Jayden loves to agitate Zion so he took his toy and Zion began to scream, "I had it furst, momma, Janen took my toy and I had it furst!" Jayden thought it was the funniest thing so he wouldn't give it back. My boys!

Zion got his first hair cut on Feb 5, 2008 and has been in love with haircuts every since. I can’t stop by the shop to get something from Manuel and Zion see him cutting someone’s hair without him throwing an absolute fit to get his hair cut. Yesterday, Zion had a Dr’s appointment. Manuel was taking him and he needed to run by the shop to get something. When they pulled into the parking lot, Zion cheered “I get to get a haircut, tank you daddy, oh tank you.” Manuel tried to explain that they had an appointment to get to and he didn’t have time to cut his hair, but what’s an appointment to a two year old. Knowing that Zion could care less, Manuel began distracting him as they walked in, he quickly grabbed his phone charger and was out the door in a few minutes. He got Zion buckled into his car seat and was on the road again. Just as they began to exit the parking lot, Zion started to scream, “daddy, I left my hair cut, I left my hair cut daddy. Let’s go back.”

"I left my hair cut"

Yesterday, Zion had a doctors appointment and Manuel had a hair cut to do a hour before so he took him with him to do the hair cut. By the way, Zion absolutely loves getting hair cuts. When the arrived at the shop, he excitedly exclaimed "dad, i gettin a hair cut??" Manuel said, "no, I have to do a client hair cut." This did not go over well with Zion and he began to have a tantrum so Manuel reluctantly agreed, "I'll cut your hair when I finish up with Mr. Frank." Zion said "o ta." Manuel cut Mr. Frank's hair and Zion found something that occupied his attention, as soon as Manuel was done, he grabbed Zion and said, "come on we've got to go so we won't be late." Zion said "o ta", took Manuel's hand and walked out to the car. As they were driving a way, Zion said "o, wait daddy, I forgot my hair cut!" Needless to say, Manuel had to deal with screaming all the way to the doctor's office.

Oatmeal Cream Pies

Zion has really started to know what he wants and is skilled at throwing a fit for it. He woke up yesterday and said, "I want cream pie". I said, "not until after you eat something" and of course the sparks started to fly. I let him lay in the middle of the floor and scream until I finished making his breakfast. Once his eggs, bacon, and Malt O Meal were done, I placed them on his high chair top along with the cream pie and said. "you can have it once you eat your breakfast." That child stuffed that food in his mouth until he began to gag! It was so sad, he wanted that cream pie.

The nosey little boy

I talk to my sister all the time on the phone and we really enjoy each other. This particular day was not unlike any other, but for some reason Zion was really interested in what I had to say. Every time I'd laugh or display any emotion he'd say "what happin momma, what happind" until I'd explain to him what happened then he'd say "O".

I cleaned my place momma.... kinda of!

It's constantly a challenge to get Jayden to eat his food, so the other day when he cleaned his place without me even harassing him, I was so excited. I hugged him and made a really big deal out of him cleaning his plate. As I was right in the middle of throwing the "Jayden cleaned his plate party" I noticed Zion picked up his plate and headed to the kitchen with it, as I watched him, he made his way to the trash can and dumped his plate out then walked back over to me and said, "momma, I ceaned my plated too!"
