Until I download pictures off the i phone all you will get are funny stories.
Zaky: "leave the door open (at night when going to bed) because I can't see Anything"
me: "say goodnight to baba"
Jonas: "goodnight to baba"
Zaky and Jonas had their first verbal argument: Zaky "Jonas not in your mouth"
Yo "No"
Z "no"
Y "Yes"
Z "Yes"
Y "No"
Z "No"
All while in the bathtub which made it a bit more entertaining.

Out of a babes mouth..
More funny things my smart and very attentive boys are saying:
After telling Zaky that we were going to a park then after a nap we would go to eat he responds 'no, that's not a good plan, no'
This same day we went to Popeyes Chicken for supper, Zaky is running around yelling back and forth from the play room to the table. He comes up to me and says 'Mama, this is McDonalds I can run and yell, this is McDonalds' (he has been told more then once 'this is not McDonalds you can not run around and yell!'
Jonas is now shaking his head and saying "No", he will mimic a lot of what Zaky says, but his favorite things these days are pointing to the sky and saying air plane, or jet when he hears them over head. He said Popeyes after eating there, and to his brother's great amusement he now calls the computer the "poo per"..

What's the word?
Well let me share with you some of the clever little things coming out of my boys mouths.
Zaky (picture this: non-alcoholic consuming country, for the majority, we are in a super market and Zaky sees the refrigerator of non-alcoholic beer) "we need to buy some beer, no no, we need to, my daddy likes to drink beer"
There are more but I can't remember them right now.
Jonas has lately developed the dislike for holding hands and walking. This is incredibly inconvenient seeing as we don't have a car and are walking or taking taxis every where we go. What does littlest man do when he does not want to hold hands and walk: hook his legs around mine like a monkey and make me pull him across the streets. He also has learned to climb out of his pack 'n play. But since we are not in our home I have not done the staying in his bed training, which takes several days. What do we do? Open the window, and turn on the fan to make his room nice and cool, then zip him in his sleep sack. Yes it is May 20 and he is sleeping in his sleep sack with very little clothes on. Not to much longer!

If you don't know the word, work around it.
As a non native Arabic speaker I definitely appreciate Zaky's language attempts and maneuvering, through both Arabic and English. Yesterday morning:
Zaky: "Where is it?"
Me: "Where's what?"
Zaky: "Where is it?"
Me: "Where is WHAT?"
Zaky: "Where is the make you smell like a big boy?"
Me: "You want Baba's cologne?"
Zaky: "Make me smell like a big boy, like Baba"
-- I put a few dabs of cologne on his neck, he then runs out of the bathroom so proud, "Baba, I smell like you, like the big boy"
Zaky: "Put some on Jonas so he can smell like a big boy too"
Everyone asks if Zaky can speak Arabic, he definitely can get around, get around meaning: he says "thank you" and "where is it" to adults, children he can get his point accross, I am always so impressed that he has communicated some idea to his teacher, but not in front of me. But then I get a little laugh at his expense when the little girl down stairs turns to her mom and says "what did he say I don't understand", I can relate....

Zaky's new saying
After a full weekend of friends, about half a bit older then him, Zaky has picked up a few new sayings:
- poo poo head
- that's not fair!!!!! "Well Zaky what is fair" "because, because it's not fair"
- NO!!!! JONAS!!!!!!! (we hung with a lot of little girls who like telling littler boys what not to do)
- I WANT TO DO WHAT ELIJAH DOES!!!!!!!!!!!
- And I'm taller, and Jonas is little, and the step stool is for tall boys to go poo poo, but not wash there hands.. ("Is Jonas a baby or a big boy?" "Jonas is a big boy, but I'm taller")
At the end of the four days, I really love my kids, and I was a bit tired of other peoples. And I was reminded little girls can be mean. I was a very unpleasant little girl, and now I am even more fearful of having one of my own. And to all out there, we will know in another week to two weeks if I will be triple blessed with boys, or blessed with a girl. Will see, so continue praying for your favorite.

Older brother
This is why younger siblings pick on kids littler then themselves when they get the chance. Notice Zaky has no bubbles on himself at all.
