"Comaders" and poop

What a title, I know. But the stories MUST be told. :)

Comaders-
Last weekend, I was at a hotel with the kids and Lee came over to stay the night when he got off work. All day Jakob had been looking out the window saying 'comaders'. For the life of me, I could NOT figure out what the heck a comader was! Was it in the bushes outside of the hotel window? No. So wherever we went for the last week, we've been asking, "Do you see a comader?" I was resigned to think that I was going to go through the rest of my life not knowing what a comader was. After all, he would eventually say the word correctly and we wouldn't hear it anymore nor would HE understand anymore what it was if we asked him. So fast forward to today. I was in the bathroom with Jakob and for some reason, I can't even remember, he said the word or it clicked in my head. HAMBURGER!! It makes complete sense now since from our hotel window, we could see the Taco Bell drive thru. Well, Jakob only knows a drive thru as hamburgers and french fries. I don't know WHY he didn't say 'fries' since he LOVES them, it would have really been easier for us to understand!

Poop- Not just any poop, but BRIGHT GREEN Poop. Well, last night at my parents house, my mother witnessed one of these brightly colored episodes. She freaked out and I just blew it off. I had seen these before for a couple days and then it goes away. Then she called tonight to see if he had any more. I just said I hadn't really thought about it anymore. So I decided to do a search on the net (you can seriously find information about ANYTHING these days). Well, I discovered that it is more than likely the juice that he is drinking. We buy the Sugar-Free Kool Aid in many different flavors. We have a 2 gallon dispenser in the refrigerator that the boys go through about every other day to every 3 days. Well this last batch is grape which I found out, after I did some research that it contains Blue dye 1 in it. Blue dye #1 is not absorbed very well by the intestine so often will come out colorful. I'll have to watch for the color change when this juice is gone.

And there ends my fun and colorful stories of Jakob today. :)
