3 years old...
As I've stated before, our little Dude has cracked us up on more than one occasion. He has been saying things like a big boy a lot lately.

For instance, we were all in our bedroom talking and Ben crawled up on the back of the bed and leaned over and said "mommy... I want muffins. I need a muffin in my tummy" and said it very matter of fact like.

He hasn’t been feeling super great this weekend, and now I believe him even more because I’m thinking I’m feeling like he was… but anyway, we were coming home from Nana’s house and he was watching a movie on his little DVD player. He said out of nowhere “mommy, my head hurts. I need some medicine to make it feel better. Okay?”

The door to the bathroom was just closed and Ben needed to pee (holding himself) and I told him to go and he said "It Smellllllsss", he has learned to be cautious of going in after his daddy!

He's been very defiant about going potty in the mornings. Not sure why. He's pretty much defiant to me when I tell him to do anything he doesn't want to. He'll listen to his daddy though, but sometimes he's not there to back me up.

He's learning about how Mommy's body parts are different than his and Daddy's... and that because of that, Mommy's are now "PRIVATE". hahaha We're now teaching him exactly what that means and now how to be respectful of that.

Our home teacher (for church) came over this week to visit. And Ben is known to be pretty shy at first, he has a hard time saying hi to people unless he knows them very well. When Jared was getting out of his car Ben yelled with excitement, "Oh I like him!!" and got really excited. When Jared was leaving Ben was standing on the couch and yelled to him "give me a hug!" It made Jared's night I'm sure and I was proud of him for being so bold!

I'm adding these as we go... whenever he says something funny I want to remember it and put in this post. This morning when I was getting him in to the car he said "Mommy, I want Daddy." Pause "I love him" pause "Mommy, I have a wiener and Daddy does too. You don't have a wiener. Boys have wieners." All I could say while laughing was "you're right!".
