More Asa Quotes Over the Years...

Asa knew that Chloe (12) would be going on a mission trip to Haiti.  She was goofing off one at home one day so he said, "When you go to Haiti, please don't embarrass me in front of my people."

Asa: What's for dinner?
Me: Shepherd's Pie.
Asa:  Great!!  The Shepherds (our good friends) are coming for dinner!  And they are bringing PIE!

Asa:  I can spell Peifer backwards!  R-E-F-I-E-P!
Jim: But can you spell "Asa" backwards? (Trying to trick him and tease it was actually forward.)
Asa: (smarter than daddy) Mini a, s, big A!!!

Today, with very little help from Mommy, Asa learned how to ride a bike. I've never seen a child master a two-wheeler so quickly! He was so proud of himself and wants to spend all his time outside practicing his newly acquired skill!

Swimming in March & Locs Update...

He still loves them and can't wait until they are long enough to pull back with a rubber band. Even with the swimming, they are staying soft - he never has any type of breakage. We wash with conditioner once a week and mist with Palmer's Olive Oil Spray when I damp-towel rub them every other day (or so). The towel-rub method is all we've ever used and they are so uniform and neatly loc'd, even up to the scalp.
