Our Kid Says the Darndest Things...

Welcome to January of a new year! Yikes! Where does the time go!? Ben's been cracking us up lately, especially with the things he's been saying. Yesterday Ryan called for him to help bring the trash and recycle bins back to the house while I was getting him out of the car. Ben yelled out to him "Just a minute! I gotta get out of the car first!"
We've been trying really hard to get him to go to the bathroom when he's gotta go, and to help him acknowledge what it feels like and all. He's been letting himself out of his room lately, which he usually always waits for us to come get him... and this morning he emerged in to the bright light and came in our room. Ryan said "do you need to go potty? Let's go to the potty..." Ben said "I gotta wake up first..." hahaha!If he's eating something he likes; he'll raise his eyebrows, nod his head and smile saying "mmm, that's really good!"
On Christmas we were driving around trying to find SOMEWHERE that was open so we could eat. I said "Hey Ben, what do you want to eat?" to which he replied "Um....... (long pause).... I don't know!" like he really just didn't know!
The other day I said "you're such a big boy" and he said "I'm Ben Smith". (Kind of like "duh Mom, my name isn't big boy it's Ben Smith). He even knows he lives in Georgia! He's super smart even if I do say so myself... not biased or anything.
