Joseph tries to bring his OWN potty to Baby School!

September 20 update:
We went to Valentino's for lunch. Lou paid the bill. All the kiddos went to the bathroom except Caleb and Joseph. Louie came back and asked where they all went? At that moment Caleb in his very animated ability acted out that Moses and Isaiah were "KAKA" and of course had to make the sounds and positioning that goes with this bodily function, this allowed ALL in the restaurant to be aware of what his brothers were doing. I politely told him that he needed to sit back down in his seat (in as straight of a face as I could without just rolling on the floor laughing). Of course half of the restaurant was chuckling. I am sure the boys would be happy to know that their 5 year old brother just told the entire eating establishment that they were pooping and gave the animation and sound effects to go with it.
Moses has vocabulary words for school. Six geography words which really means about 6 times 50 new words to describe each vocabulary word. We have a long year ahead of us but he is approaching it with a smile!
Moses: When the teacher writes 08-20-09 on your paper and has mommy sign it is is NOT a math problem to try to figure out. Try explaining to your child that it is the year 2009, not 2001 which is in Ethiopia! Then how do you tell them that theoretically...ethiopia has it right.....
Caleb: each day when you put on new socks...REMOVE THE OLD ONES...checked Caleb's feet because they looked so big, I thought he had swollen feets...NO...just 3 layers of SOCKS!
We play alot of 50's type of music for the kiddos to dance and sing to. The old song Carole..I've been such a fool....I would surely die". The kiddos were ROLLING with laughter. We thought what is sooo funny. Sophie said why sing to Carole that you "Fuuse" (which means pass gass? then you die? She said American music FUNNY hahahahaahehehe.
Joseph's now has his own set of toddler rules that seem to be working out for him and no one else. They are as follows:
If I like it it's mine,
If you have something I want, it's mine,
If it was in my hand it's mine,
If I can take if from you, it's mine,
If I had it a little while ago, it's mine
If its's mine it must never appear to be yours in any way,
If I'm doing or building something, all the pieces are mine,
If it looks just like mine, it's mine,
If I saw it first, it's mine,
If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine,
If it's broken, it's yours...but all the pieces are mine.
Gabrielle is busy learning english and loves school. We went to Wal-mart and Gabrielle still wants to pick a fish in the pet department to EAT. Oh well, she just looks at us funny and can't believe that the funny americans would buy a fish to leave on your counter and not EAT it!
The kiddos started Awanas at the First Baptist Church this week. They loved it and even Joseph has his toddler class. One little boy in Joseph's class wouldn't say Jesus because he said he "can't say a cuss word???" His mother was really RED!
Caleb went to the pumpkin patch on his first field trip with school. He loved it but wants mom to cook the pumpkin up and not to wait.
Isaiah: Check marks on your spelling papers are not the same as STARS!
School lunches are an interesting experience. We are learning that if you don't eat you will be REALLY hungry when you get home..
