Keegan learned about Johnny Appleseed this week in preschool.
Me: Who was Johnny Appleseed?
Keegan: Him walk with a bot on him ed. An he dint hab shoes.
Translation: He walked with a pot on his head and he didn't have shoes on.

We have been working on potty training Keegan for several weeks now. He pees in the potty just fine (after I tell him to hit the water) but the pooping part is just not sinking in. He starts going #2 in his pants and then sits himself on the toilet and yells, "MOMMY! I go poop on the potty now!"

Well, I know what THAT means... It means I find poop in his underwear that's sitting between his legs while he is sitting on the toilet. It also means I have to search his legs, back and bottom for smears of poop to clean off with 3 million wipes (because I do everything I can NOT to get poop on my hands.) These past 2 days, I have found him here:

...sitting on the toilet after I've cleaned him, leaned over on the side of the bathtub and snoring. Loudly. I couldn't resist taking a picture but I did think better than to not post it on Facebook. Instead, I'll lead people here to see it. That way, they can scroll down for some more laughs. How thoughtful of me, I know. You're welcome.

Keely lost a tooth today at school. She was talking about it when she and Kai got home from the bus stop.
Kai: Is there a tooth fairy in this town?

We took Keely to her first field hockey practice on Sunday evening. She came off of the field for a water break.
Me: You're doing a great job, Turtle! I don't even think I could do that.
Keely (saying as a matter of factly): You couldn't. You're too old.

Today was the first day of school for two of my kids. I met them at the bus stop to pick them up when they got off the bus.
Me: Hi Kai! How'd it go today?
Kai (in a defeated tone): It didn't go too good. I cried.
