INDIA
"Whatchu makin mommy?" Lai asked coming into the kitchen as I cooked dinner.
Today is day 3 of visiting Aug and Lai and I have been having the time of our lives.
I'm not sure yet but I'm pretty sure Alaiyah is starting to pick up on every bodies accents since Trav is always here and AJ has an accent already but it's so cute.
"I'm making you and your brother fried chicken and mashed potatoes." I told her.
"What kind of veggies you want?" I added.
She put her little finger to her chin and tapped it as she thought.
I shook my head laughing at her.
"Let me go ask AJ be right back mommy!" She said hurrying off to wherever AJ was.
I didn't know how Lai would feel about having a brother at first but they love each other. It's so cute soon as they wake up they find each other wherever they fell asleep the night before and just lay there if one of us aren't up yet watching YouTube videos in AJs room.
Her and AJ came back together.
"My mommy want to know what veggie we want wit our food." She explained to him talking with her hands as always.
"Oh my mommy makes me broccoli cause dats my favorite." He answered.
"Me too!" Lai said clapping her hands.
I smiled. They have a lot in common we've realized over just 3 days but I mean isn't that expected.
"Broccoli it is!" I said.
"Yayyyy!" They yelled excitedly together.
"I'll let y'all know when it's done y'all can go play until then." I told him.
They ran off giggling and tagging each other.
"They got so much energy." Aug said coming in as they flew past him.
"Slow down!" We both yelled at the same time and they did.
I laughed stirring the greens I had already cooking in the pot before going back to paying attention to my Mac and cheese that needed to go in the oven.
"Can today be a chill day?" I asked as Aug came over throwing his heavy ass arm over my shoulder.
We've been going places non stop since the day we got here.
"You tired lil bit?" He asked.
"Mhm." I nodded putting my head on his chest while I sprinkled cheese on top of the Mac and cheese.
He kissed my forehead before moving out my way and opening the oven for me.
"Yeah that's cool I rather do dat anyways I'm tired too they wore me out at the park yesterday." He said as I put it in the oven and he closed it.
He came over to me wrapping his arms around my neck and I hugged him squeezing him.
He laughed and pulled away.
"Dang strong lil ass." He said rubbing his side.
"I'm sorry good thing you not skinny anymore." I told him.
