On Zanna's birthday someone asked why she didn't want to stay 4 years old and she said, " 'cause I'm all about life!"
when my friend as rubbing & patting Zanna's back, she turned around and said, "Lourdes, stop burping me."
"okay, boys I'm in charge because I'm 4 and I have tall shoes on."
after asking Zanna to clean up her room she wailed, "you can't expect kids to clean up like this, I'm only 4 years old!"
James said he wanted to go to our friend Jonah's house and Zanna said, "James, I can't go with you because I will be at WORK--I mean Pre-K, but it's like work because we do a lot of stuff there! I'l let Jonah know though that you want to come over."
sung to tune of little mermaid - "I've got gadgets and bullets of plenty . . . I've got things in a box galore . . . no big deal, no one cares, I got more. . ."

"Come on James, let's be naked!"
"Mom, you don't go to work, you just stay home and take care of us? that's so mellow!"
at the dinner table she said, "Mom, it's hard to have two kids."
''...and then Heavenly Father sent a ghost down to the boy..."
"Oh, mom, I love your beautiful smile!"

I asked James why he doesn't go potty at school, he said "I want to be cool and not got potty. Rock stars don't go potty, that would be so funny."
