From the mouth of Babes

I never write down the funny things Keyton says thinking I'll alwasy remember them. However, over time, I think I have forgotten most of them. So I thought I would reminesce for a minute and try to get some in writing somewhere. This is mostly for myself, but I hope you enjoy also.
-When Keyton was about 18 months, he had this old book that was his favorite. It told all the animal sounds. It even told you what a quail says. So people would always ask him, "Keyton, what does a quail say?" and in a very high pitched yell he would say, "Bobwhite" Who knew that's what a quail said!

-The Chistmas before Keyton turned 2 he got a Fisher Price Pirate Ship from Sari, Rick, and Harlee. It had this little gun that would shoot cannons. He loved to shoot his mom most of all. One time he shot me and I pretended like I was dying with all the sound effect and all. He immediately stops lauging comes running over to me with a concerned look on his face and says, "you alright mom, didya choke?"

-After Keyton tuned 2, we started the potty training process. Once you start potty training, you don't really get private potty time as a mom. They alwasy want to check it out. So, I told Keyton, "I have to go potty Keyton, I'll be upstairs." So, he runs over to the bottom of the stairs and yells up at me, "okay mom, FOCUS!" It never occured to me until then that is what I told him every time I sat him on the toilet.

-More recently, this Christmas, my parents came up to stay the night and take Keyton around to look at lights. We were driving down the road and Keyton must have twisted his neck wrong because he all of a sudden said, "ouch, my neck hurts." we all asked him what happened and he says, "maybe my hair bit me.........no, maybe my jacket hurt it.........(then after a pause) maybe it's just a zit." We were laughing so hard. Not two minutes later he was picking his nose (his favoirte past time) and we were telling him "that's sick" he just looked at us and said "I'm a buger eatin man."

-The other day Keyton was being Dad's little buddy and he came up to me and said, "Mom I'm gonna throw you in the garbage if you don't love Dad." All I could say is, "lucky for me, I do."

-And the funny of the week. Last week at church, Keyton was waiting on the edge of his seat for the sacrament to get to him. You could tell he was so excited. Well, he just couldn't wait any longer and puts his fingers up to his lips and with his voice goes, "whhoooo whaaaat" like a whistling sound. He thinks he knows how to whistle. Trevor looked at him whith a stern face, and Keyton looks at him and says,"I'm just trying to get it here faster." We both started laughing and had to really hold back to not disrupt even more.

Sometimes I wonder where kids come up with these things. They just listen to us way more than we think they do. Keyton's new thing when he wants one of his friends to do something naughty with them he'll say to them, "I have a great idea......" That's when we know to find out what this great idea is. He keeps me laughing everyday and I love him for it.
