Both Camden and Kellan got ribbons at swimming tonight! Kellan's teacher said he's one skill away from moving up from the Goldfish level (which he's been in since November). I don't think he cares ;)

I was trying to get Kellan to hurry to get dressed for swim which is no small feat in itself. As he was standing there *ahem* nude, I asked him to just sit down and get dressed. He replied "but Mom, if I sit on the floor, something might get in my butt!"

Kellan would barely eat dinner, so I asked him if he would have enough energy for swim class. He shrugged and said "we'll see if I sink or swim"...

I was making a pact with Kellan about going to school with a smile on his face. I reached for his hand and asked him to shake on it. He just outrageously shook his whole body. I'll take it!

Kellan's been having a hard time going to sleep lately. I asked him what was bothering him. He replied "Camden's 'brething' on me through the cracks of the bunk bed and I don't like it".

Grammy and I took the boys to Catch 22 for dinner tonight. Kellan cried and pouted for a full half hour. When I finally talked him out of it, he looked at Grammy and me and said "I was just joking". Who taught this kid what a good joke is?!

Kellan's been having trouble passing his hearing test. He seems to hear just fine except at a few times. (OR he just chooses not to listen).  But since he hasn't passed the test, we went for a follow up at the doctor today. They flushed his ears and said everything was fine. Thank God! I also took Camden to the dentist later today. Kellan proceeded to tell each and everyone we passed that had a dentist or hygienist outfit on that this check up wasn't for him because he had his ear wax cleaned out this morning. And I mean each and everyone we passed. And the story didn't come out of his mouth quickly. Earnestly, but not quickly. Also, the dr. had told Kellan they were flushing turtles out of his ears so he told everyone the turtles went to the "Turtle Restaurant". Oh I can't wait for the next time we eat there... And can anyone recommend a new dentist?

When I'm driving and the boys say something funny, I use Siri to make a note of it. Kellan said something not hilarious at all and then said "Hey Mom! That was funny, talk to your friend and send it to her"...

We saw a commercial for the movie "Home", and I asked the boys if they've seen it (because I really want to). Camden replied, "yes, but I can't remember which human took us".
