Kai: Mama, I have to go to the bathroom.

Me: Ok.

Kai: Will you go for me? I'm reading a book right now.

Me: What?

Kai: Can you have your vagina go pee-pee for my penis?

Kai: But, I'm in the middle of learning how to read.

What a good laugh today! Then, he went to school and announced to his teacher that he read his first word and it was "WAR!" He was so excited and this pacifist mama had to clarify it was "Star Wars" although I'm not sure if this made it better.

He found the Star Wars used book in a sale at his school and he is excited to learn about the characters that his older friends at school talk about. He is all about Star Wars right now (before this book he had no idea what it was) and good guys and bad guys and bows and arrows.

Ruby is all about getting three teeth all at the same time and crawling. If she's not waking up every hour all night long because of these new dang teeth, then she's crawling all over this house, including trying to do the stairs! She is quick too. She hurries around the house with this big grin (with almost three new teeth).

We're off to Duluth for a few days to spend time with my mom and with Joe (as he works in his Duluth office). Looking forward to it!
