The BIG countdown

Sifa: Mummmmm, are there many gods??????????

Me: ahhh...no...why?

Sifa: why do we say Mungu wangu?? (meaning everyone has their own God)

Me: (pause) because he is one God for all of us

Sifa's mind has already moved on to the next things

I love this age! they are so inquisitive! and the questions can sometimes floor you, you really have to get to know why they are asking

Sifa: we are 2 boys and one girl

Me: yes, so i have one daughter and 2 sons

Sifa: am i your daughter?

Me: ...ummm, no my son!

Sifa - crying loudly - waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I want to be your daughter (it sounds more special i guess)

Me: ok for today, you are my daughter (will explain the difference later to him)

hehehehehe

and also this day he asks: Mummmmmmmm, God is who to Jesus?

Me: he is his Father

Sifa: na mbona  teacher anasema Joseph ni baba yake

Me: ummmmmmmmmmmmm

Incidentally, since we turned over the calendar to October, we have been counting down the days to 20th

and now he announced that people can wear sweatpants at the party

and that Yaya & Zouk is the cartoon on the cake!!...no wait, one day to the day, he says he wants PJ Mask on the cake....frantic call to cake lady....hope you have not printed the cartoon yet? we need to change it!

....and when we took a road trip to Nyeri for his birthday, and we had the  blue sign 'You Should Be Here' to take photos with........he says BUT Mummmmm, we are already here!!!!!!!!!!!

This truly is a special birthday!

Happy happy 5th birthday my Bujacus!
