Random Ben-isms

- Ben had a stomach bug for a few days, and threw up many times one night.  Tim stayed with him and Ben said to him,"Frow up not fun!" and "Frow up was ekercise!"  We agree.

- Words Ben still says funny:  empaphant (elephant), bastekball, ekercise.

- Ben still says often, out of the blue, "I love you too, Mama. I think you're byooful."

- Ben is often polite about asking before doing something.  He wanted to give Boomer treats in Kansas City and he asked Aunt Marilyn, "It's ok I give Boomer treat?"  One morning Oliver woke up crying in Kansas City and Ben said, "It's ok I get Livvy a muffin?"

- In the car, Ben told me, "Those guys didn't stop at red light."

- Ben burned his fingers pretty bad while helping Daddy make quesadillas.  For a week he told everyone, "I burned my fingers making ideas."  Then it changed to: "I burned my fingers making hot-tillas."

- It's funny to hear your kid go from barely talking to picking up subtle nuances of language.  For a while, Ben started every sentence with "I just..."  And now almost every sentence includes "kinda" and "like."  "I kinda don't want cereal.  I want, like, a peanut butter sandwich."  "I don't know about pink soup.  I think I kinda not like it."

- When Ben is with a group of his friends, he'll often say, "Hey, you guys!" or "Hey, kids!"
