Elephant!?!

Earlier this week the girls and I enjoyed a wonderful day at the zoo with Nonnie and Uncle Jessie.  The heat took a little break and there was a slight breeze.

Kenzie took her very first picture with the effalant,

I got to ride the carousel with Mars,

and she got to pet a giant tortoise.  Later that evening we went to visit Grammy, and Marley was telling her about all of the animals that she saw at the zoo - the monkeys, the camel, and the elephant.  Me: Marley WHAT did you see at the zoo?  Marley: The ELE-phant.  Me: WHAT?  Marley: The ELE-PHANT.  Me:  Marley say elephant.  Marley: Elephant.  Me: Great!!! (sarcastically).  You see, my sweet Marley has always called the elephant effalant, much to my enjoyment.  I thought that I had at least two more years of effalant, but no, Marley wants to go and grow up on me and pronounce elephant perfectly!  Don't worry I have learned my lesson, I will NEVER say ele-phant to Kenzie!
