- "I wanna thank Jesus for saving my sins."
- "Mommy, are you going to go see Jesus? Are you going to take baby Tennyson with you?"
- I love how Zooey still calls Tennyson "Baby Tennyson." LOL
- One day after speech, Zooey was having a hard time obeying, so I encouraged her to pray and ask Jesus to help her obey. She fell to her knees, looked toward the sky and yelled, "Jesus! Come down from heaven and help me obey!!"
- Zooey taught Tennyson how to pray after we read our Bible one day.
- In the car one day, "Mommy, are you going to take me to heaven to see Jesus today?"
- One night at dinner, Zooey told me, "I gonna have babies one day." I asked her some questions to find out she was going to have four babies, two boys and tow girls, and she was going to marry Daddy. :)
- Another night she told me she was going to marry me, Daddy and Baby Tennyson when she grows up. :)
I had heard that this was an age when kids start to ask a lot of questions, and I actually remember asking a lot of questions when I was four. I am so incredibly thankful to be there for these questions about her budding faith and to have BSF and a solid church home to teach her, too.
Zooey got her ears pierced on Valentine's Day, after months of asking to have it done. It was...quite the adventure. We're now in April, and some days I wish I hadn't done it. It is what it is, though. She loves her little butterflies and asks when she's going to be able to wear dangly earrings. My answer? Never. LOL :)
She loves school and is really starting to talk about her little friends there and what they do at school. She's picked up some interesting habits from her class, which consists mostly of boys: fake burping, talking about poo. It's funny, but I can't laugh too much, you know. :)

Came across your lovely blog and enjoyed reading it. Came to the post about your daughter having her ears pierced and having some uncertainty about wishing you hadn't done it at this age. Our daughter was like this to begging and wanting her ears pierced. She as a little fashionista and loved playing dress up, putting on my jewelry, heels and anything to make her look girlie.
The earrings were just part of the ensemble. After all, she was to look pretty like her mother.
Not to worry since it is normal for little girls wanting to be princesses and look pretty with her hair up to show off her butterfly earrings.
Maybe she is a bit too young for dangly earrings and her butterfly earrings a bit whimsical. However, if she wants to be ingénue, then there is nothing cuter than little toddlers looking cute with pearls or tiny gold hoops poking through their hair. After all, babies and little girls with pierced ears celebrate their femaleness and femininity.
