Words i never realized would come out of my mouth: "Keegen! Get your FACE out of the TOILET." (He's ever so proud of his potty successes and likes to watch the contents swish away but today was a little too up-close-and-personal).
Speaking of too up-close-and-personal, I've joked that Keegen is so small that i fear he'll fall in the toilet. Darn thing looks like it's about to swallow him up when he sits on it. But i never imagined he'd fall into the toilet while standing up peeing. He was standing on a step to reach the toilet, peeing, when he shifted and somehow the step slipped and he fell INTO THE TOILET face and hands outstretched first. So. What do i do? I pick him up (stifling my disbelieving laughter), wipe him off, stand him back up on the step to try again. And what happens? STEP SOMEHOW SLIPS AGAIN AND HE FLIES IN FACE FIRST AGAIN! (maybe having his shorts wrapped around his ankles wasn't a good idea, either...). Thankfully, after he got mad at me for laughing he was quick to forgive and laugh, too. No. You're right. We will not be using that step EVER again for that purpose. Should this be one of those blackbox warnings for parents? Do not let your child pee alone into the toilet due to risk of drowning???
And finally, i thought this was funny. I know i have "Say" playing by Jon Mayer when my blog comes up. I know. I'm sick of it, too. Just too lazy to go to the site to delete the code to get rid of it all. Anywho. We're sitting at Taco Bell tonight for a lovely dinner of hydrogenates, Grade F meat and who knows what else and "Say" is playing overhead. Bode asks, "Why is he saying Sandwiches Make Sense?" (as opposed to Say What you Need to Say). (sing with me now, "sandwiches makes se-e-e-nse, sandwiches make se-ense"). Love it. Just like his father hearing things that aren't there.

Ha!! This post made me laugh so hard! I feel so bad for Keegen falling in twice!! Poor guy, but my goodness that was funny! Also how funny about "Say" - it's hilarious to get that kid perspective on things!:)
thank you, THANK YOU, for the hilarious post!
HA! Oh man, sorry about the toilet. I make my boys sit to pee. EVERYbody sits to pee in this house. Standing is for emergencies outside. That's it. Yes, they have to learn to point it down. But the standing caused all sorts of issues. Some kids around here have seriously bad aim.
Poor Keegan! Girls are easier--no standing!
BTW-Ashlee, you inspired us and for the 4th we went to a nearby farm and picked raspberries and blueberries. Yum!
