Ben-isms

Here are some things Ben says on a daily basis:

*When he is asked to do something he doesn't want to do, like clean up the puzzles he dumps all over the floor or put his milk back in the refrigerator: "I don't want me to!"
*At least 75 times per day he wants to know what I'm doing..."Are doing?" I have taken to coming up with creative answers. Sometimes I'm solving the world hunger crisis, sometimes I'm flying to the moon, sometimes I'm picking and grinning.
*At least 50 times per day he wants to know where all members of the family are..."Where's Daddy? or Mommy? or Danny? or Suenamaw?" He asks this even if these people are standing directly in front of him.
*"I have turn". I hear this almost every time Danny tries to play with any toy in the house. Ben is very jealous and demanding.
*When he wants to sit on the couch with me or have some M&Ms or one of a host a zillion other things, he says, "I too".
*TMI here...my belly button is herniated big time. Ben lifts my shirts to look at it and says, "Belly...weird".
*He loves the song "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" but he calls it "Oh so high". When he wants to hear this song, he says, "Sing it for me, oh so high, for me". Lots of his demands sentences end with "for me".
*As of late, from dawn till dusk, he begs, "I go outside". Man oh man, he is all boy. He wants to play in the dirt, he wants to get wet with the hose, he wants to kick balls down the street. On Saturday, he got wet in the hose, then picked up handfulls of dirt and smeared them in his hair.
*He also says, "I love you too". This melts my heart!
