B-Mom, I wish I were a monkey!
If I were a monkey then I would eat bananas all day and I wouldn’t have to ask for a drink I would just climb down to the river to drink. I would wear my red sun glasses and flip them up like this (on top of his head) and karate catcha the water like a power ranger and use karate on the crocodile in the river! If I were a monkey…I would do that.

Benji was being silly running around the house and Chelsie said

July 20th Sunday

During packing up the rental for our up coming move I thanked Benji for bringing me a requested basket,

A- “Thanks my little helper!”
B-“I’m not your helper I'm Dads helper
A-I don’t get your help
B-No I'm Dads helper, you have all the skills and I have all the skills too! Dad needs my help!
He walks away with his slinky up his arm to help Dad, Dad inquires on the conversation…According to Benji Here s the ranking of skills in the family
Benji-Top Skills ready to assist with any trouble
Mom- Capable to perform tasks on her own
Dad- Desperately in need of a little helper
Sometimes I love children’s logic

June 20 2008

After placing the last pin in the tent Benji said,

"Mom, were Men Now!!" This is a result of too Much SpongeBob The Movie - SpongeBob and Patrick grow mustaches and start to sing the "Now that we're men" song.

June 17 Teusday

While we were making sandwiches Benji my Helper, lets out a big Sneaze directly on Moms sandwich, then says,

"well, its good I missed mine!!!"

Thanks Benji Mom wanted sneazening on my sandwich.

June 13 Friday

"Dad, Mom cut my toast into circles shes awesome!"

April 1oth Thursday

As I was sitting on the computer Benji comes up and asked

B-Mommy can I play word world games on the computer?

A-Sorry no, mommy is using the computer now

B- What are you doing?

A- Learning

B-Learning how to get babies?

A-Yes

B- Do you want to know how to adopt a baby from Benji?

A-Yes I do.

B-(taking my face in his hands with a big smile) first you take some scissors and then you cut, cut, cut, your tummy and that’s how you get a baby…

A-oh is that how it works, Hmm…(I think he is mixing up the C-section stories Dad told him and the adoption journey we are on)

B- But don’t tell Daddy cause it’s a secret, K Mommy?

A- OK, thanks Benji

April 10th

When I was heading out the door for a YW's activities and I was calling out goodbye to my boys, Benji comes running up and says in an accusing voice, "aren’t you forgetting something?" …Quizzicaly I look at him, “what”, he spreads his arms open and reaches up…and repeats again, “aren’t you forgetting something!?”

Yes a kiss.!! He laughs and said, you forgot!!

I have such a sweet boy!

March 30th Sunday

As we walked into church on Sunday we were a tad bit late, we could hear the announcements in the foyer, In a high pitched excited voice Benjamin exclaims, “Mom Heavenly Father is Talking!!!”

I reply with a smile, yes dear we need to whisper so we can hear him.

March 12th

Just another confirmation that we need siblings for Benji. He cant stand it when I am on the computer, hence why it has taken me so long to get going on this blog. He dose not know how to share mom.----Latter that day after talking a friend on the phone & getting help with the blog I went to discover what Benj was up too. He had previously been whining at me to let him play PBS games on the computer but it was Moms turn, so what did he do Any guesses?He went and piddled on the floor & on his quilt in his room behind his orange chair. This is what I get for blogging AHHHH.
