Whose gonna be our president?

Since Monday was MLK holiday, I decided to ask Tatum if she knew about MLK Jr. We talked about segregation and how he had a dream that all people would be treated the same. She then made a very profound statement: "Yeah, we are all humans no matter what our skin looks like; brown, black, white, tan, peachy. It's not like some people are mermaids on the inside and look like humans on the outside." I tried my hardest not to laugh...history told by a Kindergartner.

When we talked to Tatum about the presidential inauguration she was super excited that we were going to have a new President. Her eyes lit up and yelled "John McCain for President"...oops. We told her that Obama won, but I guess she forgot. We had to break the news to her that McCain was not going to be our president. The light went out in her eyes. Only 6 and so strong in her 'beliefs'. She was still excited for him and the fact that Obama got the be president..."It must be exciting".

Weston has said his first word!! I know you are probably thinking "Yeah right." I thought the same thing...he's just making sounds that happen to sound like a word. Well, I was wrong. Anytime he sees our dogs or any dogs (the cat too) he begins saying "og, og, og" over and over again. If you ask him 'what's that' and point to a dog he says "og, og". It's crazy to think that he is actually talking. Maybe he's a genius ;-)

Keaton has become a little bit (I use that loosely) of a stinker. I think the middle child syndrome is finally starting to kick in. Hopefully we get everything under control before he starts Kindergarten...which is only 7 months away! They grow up so fast.
