Plumbing issues

As the Rapid Rooter guy was packing up his stuff in our front yard, I told Kelton it was time to come inside for dinner. He was watching intently as the man put the long hose/wire thing into our front yard drain thing (sorry, I know that's not even close to the correct terminology, but that's not at all my area of expertise!). He said he wanted to ask the man one thing. He went up to Charles, the Rapid Rooter guy, and said "Shiloh just keeps peeing and peeing in the house and we don't know why!" The guy looked up at me and asked, "Shiloh?" I told him that was our dog. Charles looked down at Kelton and said "Well, little buddy, that's a DIFFERENT kind of plumbing problem. I'm not able to fix that one!"

A long time ago

While playing with the boys in Kaiden's room.....
Kelton: "Mom, when did you take the mobile down?"
Me: "Oh, a while ago."
Kelton: "A while ago?"
Me: "Yeah, a long time ago. When Kaiden started standing."
Kelton: "A long time ago like when there were dinosaurs?"
Me: (Trying not to laugh) "No, not THAT long ago!"

A few months back, we were coming home from doing some activity and Kelton was pretending to talk on the phone. This is what I heard, "Oh, hi, Emily. Yeah, we're just coming back from {whatever we were doing that morning}. Oh, you want to go the the (whatever title he said, I can't remember now, but it's not important) Dance with me? That would be great! You want to go look at the garbage trucks first? Sure, sounds great!" Then he went on for a minute or two more, I don't remember what he said as I was paying attention to the kids playing on the street. I told Tina, my best friend, and Emily's mom about this that day and she just started laughing and said Keton's already got it all figured out....taking the girl to the dance and swinging by to look at the garbage trucks for his enjoyment!

We've been somewhat working on Kelton's potty training. One evening, after putting him down to bed, he came out about 30 minutes or so later and said he had to go potty. I walked with him into the bathroom and as he sat on the toilet, he said "Logically, I have to go poo. But....I just don't think I have time." I was trying not to laugh, and told him that if he was going to go poo on the potty, we'd sit there for as long as necessary. He didn't go. Logically!
