Doug...

So it's official, we have a dog and Kestyn has named him Doug. The only problem is that I can't seem to call the dog without singing "the tiger song" from the hangover which by the way I've never seen but somehow know the song. Doug's an extremely lackadaisical dog and doesn't seem to mind lying around all day. He's a Hound and something mix, we think maybe a lab. He has the cutest face, but what puppy doesn't! I'm still trying to adjust, ever since we got the dog, I've felt the need to clean! He makes me feel like I have a dirty home, I know, I'm weird. Potty training has been a challenge and I was ready to return the dog a few days ago, but telling my son would make it hard to follow through with. Guess we'll hang in there and hopefully get a fence soon so the dog can be outside!

When I grow up, I'm gonna be just like my daddy

My Favorite Things Kestyn Said...

1. If someone were to offer him a cigarette, he would reply, and I quote: "What's your understanding of anaphylactic shock!" No joke, he came up to me and told me that! (He learned it from The Saftey Kids)

2. One day while eating at KFC I told him to hurry or I'd leave him there and he responded: "No, don't leave me here or I'll become... One of them!"

3. After coming home from preschool, I asked him like I always do what he'd learned that day and he said: "Ahhh, just a bunch of crap!"

4. We were just getting out of the car and I guess Kestyn was talking to Zach but he wasn't paying attention and left for the house and as I was unbuckling Kes, he said with a hint of irritation, "And I'm talking to myself." (Keep in mind he's 4 going on 18!)

5. It was time for bed and Zach followed Kestyn to what he thought was going to be his bed but instead Kes went to the bathroom of which he then turned around, looked at Zach, and said, "I'm going to be here a while..." So Zach came back into the living room grinning from ear to ear and said he was instructed to wait.

6. So it's Zach's family reunion in Fishlake and I was talking to Kestyn about letting him go there and camp with them since I couldn't go because I had to work. He started to tear up and said "I want you to be fired from your work so you can go with me." Talk about heart breaking! Boy I love this kid!

7. I don't have one particular phrase he's used but lately he's been using the word plethora a lot and in the right context!!! Just wait until you hear a 4 year old say plethora, almost as funny as hearing him say trapezoid at 2 years of age!

8. Okay, so we had satellite radio for a while and one night Kes and I were driving home listening to xm kids when a song about pirates came on. Kestyn started asking questions about them and asked me what pirates did. I told him that they would attack other ships and pilfur their stuff, and then he asked me what pirates do now, and I told him that there really wasn't pirates per se. Not in the same sense really.....I mostly said it to avoid a long drawn out conversation, but anyway, he gave me a funny look and said, "What did they all do, quit?"
