Harley and I were snuggled up watching Little House on the Prairie when she turned to me and said, "I want a wife."
"What would you do with a wife?" I asked.
"Like that." she said gesturing toward Michael Landon on the screen.
"A husband," I corrected, "You want a husband. What would you do with a husband?" I asked.
"I would marry him... I'll be a cowgirl, and he'll be a cowboy."
I told her that sounded like a good idea, and we watched a little more Little House on the Prairie.
Then Zech chimed in and said, "I wanna marry a girl cow and I'll be a boy cow."
I ventured a guess, "You mean you want to be a cowboy and marry a cowgirl?"
He smiled and laughed as he realized what he had said.
Zech is a lot right now... He is a lot of fun, and he takes a lot of energy.

After a harvest party, Zech had candy and gum. I made the rule that he couldn't eat gum in the house after finding it on tables and chairs around the house. So the next time he wanted some gum I sent him out of the house. ...Where did I find gum this morning? in my shoe...

He's just a lot of fun...

Zach loves to play, he loves to make us laugh, and he is learning so much. We are so thankful to have him be a part of our family.

Fitting Right In...

Visiting some Church friends...

Visiting a neighbors chicken coup...

Zach really has adjusted well to Mali. He runs around with a bare bum most of the time, he is always dirty, and often picking his nose. We are working on some of these bad habits, but consequently he is potty trained after one month in Mali! And we are thankful for that. He has no trouble saying NO to kids who are overstepping their bounds, and he feels that way a lot with the kids in our yard. They want to grab him and hold him or tease him... He marches all around the yard and does what he wants... it is pretty cute. He is starting to repeat words too... I wouldn't be surprised if he is the first of all the kids speaking Bambara!

Yea... he's potty trained...
