Quin means…
Watching Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles
after school
Eating pasta with no sauce and
pancakes for breakfast
Getting dressed with underpants
backwards and glasses sliding down the nose
Singing along to “That Snail is
fast,” “What does the Fox Say?” and “Love is an Open Door”
Dreaming of Grandparent’s houses
and birthday gifts
Begging to read the Lego Star
Wars Encyclopedia every night before bed
Quin is…
Lights on all night
Smiles in the morning
Smoothies and Sundaes at Costco
Questions like “What is for
dessert?” when dinner has just been served
Kind words like “I love you” and “You
are special to me”
In his perfect world every night would be bath night
And instead of going to school everyone would go to the pool
And instead of going to school everyone would go to the pool
Quin is all things warm and
friendly
Dallin means…
Pointing to every airplane that
crosses the sky
Finding chairs pushed to the
middle of the room, the snack cabinet and the kitchen sink
Jumping off the last step
Hiding under the covers and
giggling every morning
Touching circles in the sidewalk
outside of school
Climbing over fences
Dallin is…
Vehicle puzzles and picture books
Dripping sippy cups
Crazy blonde hair
No socks at naptime
Mickey mouse doubling and a
pillow, travel companion and tissue
Hot dogs with no buns and fruit
snacks
Green glasses flying through the
air into bushes and toilets, and under cushions and cars
In his perfect world every day would consist of shoe shopping and there
would be no fences
Dallin is cuddles before bed and
waves at the window
