Ben-isms

I have always loved reading the funny little things that toddlers say and now I have my own little comedian in the house. He cracks us up sometimes. He astounds us with what he understands sometimes. And he drives us nuts when he understands enough to try to debate with us sometimes. Here are some cute little nuggets.

Ryan was trying to teach Ben to say "You're the bomb mom." After serving him waffles for breakfast one morning he said, "Bomb mom!" completely unprompted.

Ben was in trouble and Ryan said to him, "I need a yes or a no." Ben responded, "Yes No." ha. It was the first time we had ever heard him verbally say "yes."

Ben comes to get in our bed at 6:30am every single morning. One morning I hadn't heard him stirring and yet he came in right on schedule. I said to Ryan, "I thought we might get to sleep in a little today." Without missing a beat Ben said, "Uh, no!" Did he really understand?

Ben just started saying "I love you." Again, after getting waffles one morning he said with great passion, "I wuv waffles!"

We have a single guy intern at World Impact right now who does some maintenance work as well as other things. He came over to fix the sprayer on my sink one day, but didn't finish the work and had to come back a few hours later. Ben kept asking all day "Josh home?" As in, when is Josh coming home? Uh, that is how nasty rumors get started son!

Ben watching Josh work. He wouldn't cross the threshold of the kitchen, but he had his hammer and screwdriver just in case he was called upon.

Ben often just takes things from random places and piles them up. Sometimes in his shopping cart or sometimes he hides a bunch of things under a blanket. Silly boy.

Waving bye to Daddy when he goes to work every single morning. So sweet. Yes, he has his own personal style. Ya just never know, but be assured "me pick!"
