We just came back from spending a few days up north at a beautiful cottage. It was a 3 hour drive and we left our house in the evening so that the kids could sleep on the ride. All three children fell asleep quickly after we left and 2 hours into the drive, Zekijah (2 years old) woke up.
She said to me,
“Heit, is Zion sleeping?” I said ‘yes’. She said,
“okay. Is Jacoba sleeping?” I said ‘yes’. She said,
“okay. Are you sleeping?” I said ‘no, darling, I am driving’. She said,
“okay. That is good”. Then she promptly fell back asleep.
I like having a 2 year old supervisor.

Hi Mendelt!
From the time our first child was born, I have had many people tell me to write down their milestones and the cute things they say because you won’t remember it all, even when you think you will.
You’re doing a great job preserving their words and their thoughts! I really enjoy reading about your children. Zekijah is such a sweetheart! I remember that the two year stage is not ‘terrible’ at all, but such a fun time, especially as their language unfolds!
It’s wonderful to witness through the blog the wonderful job you are doing as a father to Zion, Jacoba and Zekijah! I praise God for your commitment and faithfulness to your children!
Love, Julie

Dear Mendelt,
Now there’s a first class supervisor for you, and such a sweetheart!
Would have liked to have heard that song that you and your brother composed at your cousins wedding!
Very much enjoy the photos of recent posts!
God’s peace,
Tine

Great conversations between a father and small children come whilst driving.
That’s a given.
