Getting Another One

My mom passed away in August after living with us for 6 1/2 years except for the last two months of her life.  She had to move into a nursing home in June.  The last three years she lived with us, Brandon and the boys also lived with us.  So from the time Zeke was one year old, he and my mom lived with us.  They really loved each other.

One night, a few weeks after Mom passed away, Zeke told me that he had been thinking about Dot Dot .  I asked him if he missed her.

He said he did miss her and thought for a few minutes.  Then he said "I wish we could get another one"

I Know How to Spell "Dance"

Quentin takes dance lessons on Monday and Wednesday at the Classic City Center.  On the side of the building are three huge "C"s.

A couple of weeks ago, I picked up the boys and was taking Quentin to dance.  I pulled into the parking lot and Zeke said, very smugly, "I know how to spell 'dance'"

I said, "you do?  How do you spell 'dance'?"

Very confidently, he said "C-C-C"
