That's What He Said

So, Ben is a real talker. I am a pretty good listener, but really, do you realize how many times in a day a three year old can say, "Hey Mom, you know what?" Let's just say it is an inordinate amount. But somewhere wedged in between that constant, are these new sayings,

while settling down for a nap aka "rest time" he has been know to say...

"Mommy, we just have one small problem, I'm not very sleepy" - I swear he says that- verbatim.

also, he is starting to say words that seem so funny to hear coming out of such a little body, such as :

In fact,....

Actually,...

and terribly

All seem to be used correctly so far!

Then, right before this posting, I we were sitting on the couch talking. I must preface this story by saying that yesterday I had a much needed trip to the chiropractor for a really bad neck-ache (another story altogether) and Ben had heard all about it. So, tonight he asked, "Mommy, why did you go see the firecracker?" (chiropractor)

As for Maddie, she seems to be adding new words daily. Currently she can do a killer imitation of Daddy snoring, and she can sound like a kitty- meow meow. Also added to her repetoire is bye bye, cool! and hi. oh, and of course she can say NO!
