Best friends with Mr. Lion since 2014.


AB: “I wanna see picture of me and Jesus.”
Me: “I don’t have a picture of you and Jesus.”

AB: ”I wanna to see picture of Jesus on phone!”
Me: “But I don’t have any pictures of Jesus on my phone. I’ve never taken a picture of him.”
AB: “I wanna see me and Jesus!”

Me: “I don’t—“
AB: “I WANNA SEE PICTURE OF JESUS!”

Me: “Think about all the nice things you have, like your bed and your toys, and thank God for them.”
AB: “Dear Yord. Thank you for da door.”

Me: “Do you love Baby Ivy?”
AB: “I love fried rice.”
 

“I holdin baby I-bee (Ivy).”
This is said when she’s holding anything that can be wrapped in a blanket. Her sippy cup, pretend egg, monkey and rabbit from Easter have all been Baby Ibee at one point or another. She’s in for a real treat when she meets Ivy and discovers she’s not a plastic turtle that plays music.

AB: “It taste yike butterscotch!”
Me: “What does?”
AB: “Da bubbles! They so yummy! You want some?”
