Scribble and Scrabble

Seems like I just did one of these…so many Benisms!

“Ew yuk, cassidy slimy with spit”

While getting Cassidy’s 6mo shots Ben asked the nurse if he could get them instead of her because it would hurt her and she would cry.

Ben was telling me about the colors of stop lights and he said “Yellow means be careful out there, OK”

He was telling everyone that came out of the Y to “be careful don’t slip on the ice”

While talking about Cassidy he said “I very very love her”

We were reading about how catepillars turn into butterflies. He saw the cocoon and asked “Is it poop?” I explained what it was and then he kept calling it a “raccoon” instead of a “cocoon”

Ben has been potty trained for a year and a half. In that time I think he’s pooped on the potty four times. He usually just saves it for his bedtime diaper (grrr). Well recently he’s been wanting to read his potty book again and tells me “Mommy when I poop on the potty I can have (insert whatever I’ve promised him).” Today I thought we were close again, he sat on the potty to pee and I knew he had to poop too. You see, when he has to poop he runs laps around the house grunting and screaming but still holding it in. It would be the most mortifying thing for company to see ;-) So I had him on the potty, he’d peed and was trying to get down and I was making him sit and wait for poop. He started screaming at me “No mommy! No poop! NEVER! I’ll never poop” OMG! In the battle of wills the three year old won, he got down and sure enough, later that night pooped in his overnight diaper. When I went in his room to change him he said with a maniacal grin “Mommy I pooped in my diaper, see” *hangs head* I give up.

I finally printed and added pictures of Cassidy around the house. When he woke up the next morning Ben immediately pointed out which pictures were missing and what new ones were in their place. I don’t even think Andy noticed all the pictures I changed.

We were playing with some of his farm animals and he exclaimed “Cows get milk from their butt!” I tried to explain about udders, I don’t think he really understood.

I let him squeeze a pear we’d bought and was trying to teach him that it was still really hard so it wasn’t ready to eat yet. Every 20 minutes for the rest of the day he asked if he could squeeze the pear to see if it was ready yet.

Lately he’s been stripping down to just his pants. I’m not really sure why because it’s still really cold out. The one day he did it and said “I like socks, I don’t like shirts. No shirts for me!”

While photo bombing Cassidy’s monthly pictures he put his hat on her head a little too hard and made her cry. He said “I’m sorry Cassidy” it was the sweetest thing.

I told him I needed to change my pants before we headed out for errands (sweatpants to jeans). He asked “Mommmy, are they wet?” as in, I’d had an accident.

Ben: I have to go to work today.
Me: Oh ok what are you going to do at work?
Ben: Fix things with daddy
*awwww*

We were playing a preschooler game on the tablet and it said “Good job!” and Ben replied “Thank you”

I asked Ben how his dinner was one night. He responded “It’s not that bad.” Gee, thanks.

One of the (many) times Cassidy was crying Ben asked “Cassidy crying, her poop stuck?”

He’s become a sneaky little one and if he doesn’t want to do something we’ve asked of him he says “I can’t hear you mommy.”
