Bennyisms

Okay for posterity I have to write about some of my favorite Bennyism's.

Donuts: When ever I say we are going to church his response is "Donuts?", but the best part is how he says it, "Doo-nuts?"

McDonald's: As any kid does, Ben loves McD's. When I asked him, "What are you going to get at McDonald's?" Grace said cheeseburger, Ben's response was, "Daddy's Coke." Ahhh, another coca-cola addict on my hands I fear.

Mickey Mouse: Ben refers to Mickey Mouse as "Hot Dog." Why you may ask, because the song on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse starts out as hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog, and somewhere in the process that song translated into Mickey's name. Don't ask me how, because I really don't have a clue.

Castle Party: Both of my kids LOVE Disney, and I must admit, so do I. They both adore the castle stage show called Dream along with Mickey. Right at the beginning they sing a song called "Castle Party." Grace can sing a good part of it, but Ben doesn't have all the words down quite like she does so you only get every seventh word or so, and he throws in some repeat phrases. He does have the tune down though. My favorite part of the song is how he says castle party, it comes out as, "cashew potty."

"Me": Whenever we ask a question like, "Who wants a cookie?" Ben now raises his hand and shouts, "Meee!"

Princess: Ben loves the princesses, partly because Grace does and partly I think he likes giving them his coy little smile that just melts your heart. The princesses were the only characters at Disney that little booger would take a picture with! He also likes the princess songs, and he can sing the Sleeping Beauty song, "I Know You", at least in part and it is so adorable.

Dancing: Ben has quite a little groove and loves music. Give him a good beat and he likes to shake it. He has his little signature move he does that is a cross between the chicken dance with the arm flapping and some type of little bouncing up and down move while turning around in a circle. It is quite a sight to see.

Just writing these makes me smile. He is such a unique little boy and I love him with all my heart. He's my little man!
