Ben cracks me up!


Last night for Family Night Ben was in charge of the game. Usually, we just play Uno or whatever...but he decided to make up his own game. He cut out these strips of paper and wrote the first letter of everyones name. Then everyone took a turn picking a paper and describing the person...some favorite descriptions were from Ben "her name starts with M, she is really fancy, she has 'curry' hair, and she can dress herself"..."its Mommy" or "His name starts with D, he knows how to turn on and off the TV, he can go potty all by himself and he likes to wrestle with me"..."its daddy"! The way he described himself was also funny "He's 4 years old, he is really crazy for his mom, and likes to run"...anyway, you get the idea! It was a super fun game and I couldn't believe Ben came up with it on his own..AND that he knew everyones first initial! (I am also impressed that he had noted that I am FANCY and I know how to dress myself..I am very proud of both of those things).



Today the kids were coloring and Ben made this picture to hang on his door...I ask him what it said and he said "it says that Sammy can't come in" I couldn't believe he made a no girls allowed sign...he drew a picture of Sammy and crossed it out??? I told them it wasn't very nice and that he needs to let Sammy in his room..then I ran and got the camera before we took it down..I know I shouldn't admit this..but, I thought it was funny! Only because they usually play so well together!

He's so smart to come up with a game like that and I loved his definition of you :) Love the picture too. It's just a phase. He'll grow out of it..soon hopefully :)Until then it's always fun to document it. Great blackmail when he starts dating ;)

You and your "Fancy", "Curry hair"! I am very impressed that you DO know how to dress yourself now. He is so HILLARIOUS! I love it.

That is so cute how kids are consumed with things going in in their world...dressing themselves, being crazy for their mommy (SOOOOO CUTE!) and going potty by themselves. He is such a doll!

Okay, I quit. You are fabulous AND you can dress yourself?! Don't you wish adults were so easy to impress? That cracks me up!
