Jacob and Ben said some funny things this week....
A couple of days ago, on our way out to the bus stop, I commented to no one in particular that my hair looked puffy. Jacob then consoled me by saying that it was not puffy and that he liked it. He particularly liked "the way that one side is lighter and one side is darker" and "how one side is curlier and one side is more wavy". Now, these are not things I requested from my hair stylist. So, despite my somewhat neurotic and compulsive nature, I promised myself that I was not going to worry about this!
Benny also had me laughing this week. He is very excited about playing t-ball this spring and also mentioned that he wants to play soccer in the fall. We are not a soccer playing family but we will certainly give it a shot. Benny wants to play soccer so that he "can score goals on all of the teams and win all of the games".
When asked if having fun or winning was more important. (I naturally asked this question because as a mom I need to use this type of questioning to gauge the moral compass and developing character of my children....ha ha, but I digress....) So, when asked if winning or having fun was more important, Benny quickly said "Winning!" and then added "I want to win a trophy". Now, who does he get this from?
After a few more words of wisdom from me and his pre-school teacher, we convinced Benny that having fun was more important than winning, especially when we explained that these days all of the kids get trophies - even if you don't win!

Where do they come up with these things!
Your hair looks great! Don't make yourself crazy!I love it!
Benny has a point, winning is pretty damn good!
Benny just asked for scrambled eggs made with soy milk. Soy milk? Where did he come up with that? Then George chimed in and said they were recently making scrambled eggs at daycare and Benny said that he does not like milk in his scrambled eggs. (Not true.) So the daycare used soy milk. Crazy stuff....I am shocked Benny ate them with soy milk. No soy milk here so I used milk, well actually light cream because we are out of milk!
