Benjamin speaks...


Benjamin says anything and everything. He always makes us smile...or laugh.

He is still very persistent when he is in his high chair and nobody is taking care of his needs...instantly. He is also very precise about what he wants. Our conversation might go something like this:

Benjamin: Mom, I need oatmia (oatmeal) in the gween (green) bowl.

Me: Ok, Benny. Just a minute.

Benjamin: Hellooooo, I need oatmia (oatmeal) in the gween (green) bowl.

Me: Benny, ok...I heard you. Can you say, please?

Benjamin: (starting to whine) Peeeezzz, I need oatmia (oatmeal) in the gween (green) bowl.

Me: (busy doing something else) Ok

Benjamin: Helloooooo....helloooooo

Hmmm...that must mean one of us older people at our house says "helloooo" when we are trying to get someones attention. Who could it be?

I have a few of those who are learning (slowly) to be "happy while you wait." :)

That's so cute, he's so precious. I know I say "hellloooo " all the time to get my kids attention. It's funny how we don't always realize what we say until our angels repeat it.

That is hilarious! I do that sometimes too. If I say something to hubby and he ignores me I'll say "Hello????"

How cute is that, he wants his oatmeal in the 'green' bowl. Now there's a boy who knows what he wants!

Thanks for the sweet birthday wishes!
