Funny Ben Stories

So I thought it was time to share some of my favorite stories about Ben. Ben is saying a lot more now, and we think we understand most of what he says, or at least we get the gist of it. He has stories to share and keeps us laughing. Here are some Ben funnies:

• The other day we went to Sam's club to run a few errands. Ed had strained his back and when he got into the car he said "oh my freakin back" (yes, he did say freakin, not the other word). Ben was strapped in his car seat in the back and added his 2 cents with "oh it's freakin cold". And yes he was right, it was a very cold morning!
• Ben's has had the stomach flu twice in the last two months. During one of his episodes, Ed attempted to catch a certain liquid in his hands. As Ed made his way to the bathroom he starting saying under his breath "god oh god", trying carefully not spill anything. So Ben started to say "Daddy, god oh god...." over and over again.
• We were driving down the road and when we stopped at a light I saw a flat bed truck with about four porta-potties on the back. I said to Ben "Look Ben those are potties on that truck" and I explained the idea of a porta-potty to him. When the light turned green and the truck pulled away Ben started yelling " bye bye poop, bye poop" over and over.
• Ben's favorite words: up pick car (pick up truck), yummies, noodles, baby, kitty, hi honey, 'kay (okay), two minutes, tanks (thanks), nigh-nigh (night night for bedtime), boopball (football), keen (for Lightening McQueen) and any of the other names of the Cars movie characters, mall, Target, and Big Cake
