A day at the Zoo and all these Firsts

The one thing I have always enjoyed about reading blogs is when the children come home and they do and say all the firsts. Today was one of those. All day long. And it is especially cute when they are older because you can see it in their expressions. At the zoo they saw so many animals that they had only seen in books before. Also they went on a merry-go-round and feeding little goats which I could tell they had never done. I was a little surprised about Biruk because for the first time he did something before Amira and that was feed the goat. In many of his expressions you can see he is still afraid but surely trying it out and that is what's important. He is hilarious to watch because when he gets nervous he gets this spastic walk like he pooped in his pants. This is usually how I can see he is really nervous and I back off. I am not forcing the issue than.

I am still like so in love with these little guys. Don't get me wrong, we have our temper tantrums and sassyness but 4 year olds are just something to me. I have always been obsessed with 4 year olds. They say the funniest things and if together they really have a way of entertaining each other. They are so mischief too. I often wonder what they talk behind my back because they get that look at me and just start to crack up. But nothing gives me more pleasure to hear their voices all day calling me mommy and I love you at least 100 times. They are just never quiet, ever, unless they sleep. I also love when I came back from a short errand how excited they get to see me. Or when I call the phone when out, it seems like they know its mommy calling and they scream in the background "MOMMMMMMY".
