I am trying to potty train Keegan before his school begins (Sept 11) or he won't be able to go.
Me (to Keegan): Look at me. These are big boy pull ups for big boys. If you have to go pee pee, where do you go?
Keegan: In the bafroom
Me: If you have to go poop, where do you go?
Keegan: In my butt.
Kai (standing up randomly from watching tv): Keegan, wanna see my butt cheek?
Me: Keegan does not want to see your butt cheek. Put that away.
Kai (now pointing to his butt cheek which was hanging out of his pull up): This is my butt cheek, Keegan.
Keegan: Oh.
Keely (on our way home from the Maryland Orioles game): Mommy, how old were you when you got your pads?
Me: What do you mean?
Keely: The pads  that you put in your underwear.
(Keely was way in the back of the van, Bo was driving and I was in the front passenger seat, so it was safe to laugh without her seeing us.)
Me: Oh, I don't know... 8th grade?
Keely: How OLD were you?
Me: 13? 12?

Kai went poop in the potty.
Me: Do you have more?
Kai: No. It was stuck to my bottom but I wiggled so it would come off.

I found a book in the house that I'd never seen before.
Me: Where did we get this book? Is it a library book?
Kai: No, it was already living at our house, Momma. But we was never gonna read it.
While in Indiana for 2 weeks, we met and visited with an old elementary school friend of mine who has 2 kids the same ages as Keely and Kai. Her daughter (9 yrs old and only 4 days younger than Keely) is a true Albino and is legally blind in both eyes. She and Keely had a great time together and became fast friends. When we said our goodbyes and got in the van.
Keely: Mommy, even though McKenzie's eyes have ruined her life, she's still really cool!
We've been traveling a lot and I haven't had much chance to post what my kids have been saying. Here are some "catch up" quotes...

(a few months ago) Kai: Mommy, can you get me my DS?
(We were in the car and it had fallen in front of him but behind me.)
Me: I can't reach it. Wait until I stop.
Kai: Mommy, you can't reach it because you don't have Lego arms.
