Cooking with Xol

Mom: Xol let’s make dinner. I need your help with the garlic.
Xol: Of course. I want to help you get him naked.
Mom: Get who naked?
Xol: The garlic!!
(On peeling the garlic)

Xol: See this beauty?
Mom:What beauty?
[Xol picks up a wooden figurine from the end table]
Mom: Oh. You mean the BUDDHA?
Xol: Uh huh. Sorry I called him that.
Mom and Xol: Giggle giggle giggle!

I am a proud mama lioness. About ALL of it. You are everything. You are LOVE.

We baked a cake and watched a movie since you’re sick today. Even though you don’t look like it at all in this pic! Always camera ready. Werrrrk.

Even when you’re sick, you’re a star! Tata used to sing this song to me when I was a baby and now I sing this song to you before bed. It’s a beautiful thing. Love.
