potty training
Na semana passada (23 de agosto) começamos "oficialmente" o esperado potty training. Em vez de usar os pull ups que tentamos antes, partimos pra cueca direto. Os primeiros dias foram estressantes - xixi no chão, no tapete, nos brinquedos.... ugh! O prêmio final para quem não usasse mais fralda era uma scooter. Na sexta feira o Matthew só teve um acidente, e como eu tinha visto uma scooter no craigslist, fomos procurar no sábado. Saímos sem fralda - ai que nervoso! Conseguimos comprar a scooter e ficamos quase 3 horas fora, sem acidentes!! O Nathan foi até no banheiro do restaurante e do Wal-mart. Impressive!
E aí veio o domingo... O dia inteiro longe de casa. Saimos as 9 da manhã e só voltamos as 9:30 da noite! Bom, teve um super acidente (o número 2 fez número 2), mas em geral, a good day!! Vamos ver se a gente consegue ficar assim, porque as aulas começam na semana que vem!!

Soccer
Called the boys - "Brazil is playing"
Nathan shouted "yaaaay"- he was really excited, no kidding. I think all the World Cup and cheering really affected them.
While watching the game: Nathan "I want to go there"
me: "It's in New York, too far for us to go"
Nate: "Like the meat?"
Hmmmm... yeah, like the New York steak :). Another phrase to record!

matt and nate conversations
The boys are really into talking to each other and really mimic whatever we say:
Matt crying because he is hurt
Nate: Matthew, don't cry, I am "mo-mo" you (means patting in chinese)
Nathan to Matthew when we are walking outside: Matthew, give me your hand. Do you want other people to get you (that's what I tell them)
Matthew after going to the potty: Can I have my scooter now? (that's the ultimate potty training prize)

Other random conversations
At Sunday school with daddy...
Teacher: "King Salomon was going to build a temple"
Boy (don't know which - need to ask daddy): "Why, was it broken?"
Then all the kids started asking, why was it broken... :)
After the Bella Terra concert, I decided to ask them what do they want to be when they grow up. I didn't explain anything, so after a while Nathan said "a driver" and Matthew agreed and said "A school bus driver and there won't be a jaguar there" =0. It's probably because I told them that only grown ups can drive (they always try). No idea where the jaguar part came from.

VBS
Nessa última semana os meninos foram pela primeira vez para VBS, de uma igreja aqui perto de casa. Foi meio por acaso. Estávamos visitando a pré escola daquela igreja e como tinha uma EBF, resolvi levar os meninos.
Eu fiquei com eles nos dois primeiros dias, mas depois dei uma saída pra ver se eles conseguiam ficar sem mim. Fui fazer grocery shopping, e disse pra eles quando a gente estava indo pra VBS. Apesar de eles falarem "mamãe, não vai!" eu fui mesmo assim. Quando eu voltei, eles falaram. Eu nem chorei! :)
O que mais eles fizeram lá foi brincar. A história assistiram mais ou menos, mas aprenderam as músicas. Na hora do louvor o Nathan ia lá na frente e ficava dançando, na maior cara de pau! Eles gostaram bastante e começaram a participar mais ao passar da semana.
Pérola do Nathan: Na história, a professora disse: "Then Jesus died". Nathan: "Mamãe, por que Jesus mergulhou?" :D

Songs
Here are some of the songs the boys make up words for (probably because the others don't make sense to them"
"Mighty to save" - Jesus conquered the grape
"Row row row your boat" - Merry, merry, merry, merry, life is butter drink
"Hurry, hurry to the celebration - there's a party waiting to bacon (should be begin).
