Wait, wait, I love THIS post! It CRACKED ME UP!!! HAH! Lena wants to be a tree when she grows up. And Reed including underwear as part of his outfit! So literal, that boy! LOL!! So stinking funny! I love this idea too! I’m gonna steal it! 🙂 I’ll just make Kyle do it for now…until I have a kid! 🙂
Papa is his best friend, that is cool.
Awww, sooo cute!!! I’m flabbergasted that they understand English well enough to hold this kind of conversation. Kids learn SO MUCH faster than adults, that’s for sure.
I also love that Lena wants to be a tree when she grows up…I’ve often said that if I believed in reincarnation, Id want to come back as a tree…its such a romantic idea to me. They are so strong and rooted, their arms permanently stretched to the sky as if praising their maker…ahhh…I love to pretend to be a tree sometimes….is that normal? Maybe Lena will grow up to be a total hippie. 🙂
