I put a tank top on Ben and he called it a “muscle shirt” — have no idea where he learned what those are.

We heard the ice cream truck music outside and Ben said “Mommy watch out! Ice cream truck coming!”

I told Ben we were going to Goodwill to look for a pair of swim trunks. He asked “Good Marcus?” He has two little friends named Will and Marcus at the Y :)

We were playing with Playdoh one afternoon and Ben was rolling up little balls. I asked him what they were and he said “Dinosaur eggs.” Then I asked what kind of dinosaur would hatch from them and he looked at me very seriously and said “A baby dinosaur.”

We were looking at one of Ben’s dinosaur books. I told him the name of one of the dinosaurs was “Anklyosaurus” and he asked “Stinkysaurus?”

Ben sneezed and said “Bless you me.”

We were eating lunch together and he held up his cup of milk and said “Chairs mommy.” It took me a minute to realize he’d meant “cheers” :)

He has a cute way of expressing time. Anything in the past is “last week” even if it happened the day before or months before. Anything that is going to happen in the future (like we’re going to go to a friend’s birthday party tomorrow or to grandma and grandpa’s house this weekend) is “in a couple of weeks.”

Anytime we finish a toilet paper or paper towel roll Ben gets super excited and claims it as his “telephonescope” (telescope).

He puts an extra syllable on the word bulldozer…so we have a “bulldozerozer”
