January Words

I haven't been the best about blogging the funny moments with the kids lately. Here's a recap of some of the January highlights...
*****************************
We were reminiscing about the first time Jacob went to stay with my parents. He was a little over two. I
Me: Daddy and I thought it was kind of fun the first night, but then after that, it just felt weird. It was way too quiet around the house.
Greg: We really missed you.
Jacob: Did you miss the sound of my laughter? (Who talks like this?!?!?)
Me: (laughing a little) No, we missed the twinkle in your eye.
Jacob: Well, sometimes people talk like that in books.

On a particularly cloudy day, Benjamin looked up and said, "Oh, is the sky closed today?"
*****************************
Sarah: You're so stinkin' cute!
Benjamin: I not stinkin' cute!
Sarah: You're so smell good cute?
Benjamin: I not smell good cute! I stinkin' cool!
*****************************
Nana and a bunch of other family members were over the week after the Colts lost in the playoffs for our Colts party (my sister's brilliant idea - she follows sports the same way I do).
Nana (to Jacob and Brianna): So, what's new with the two of you?
Jacob: Well, the interesting thing about Brianna is that she lost a tooth.
*****************************
Greg took the kids shopping for my birthday. I'd asked for a few things, including a K-cup coffee maker (the one for people who are really bad at making coffee). I assumed Benjamin didn't know what they were going to buy.
Me (as they were leaving): So, what are you buying me for my birthday?
Benjamin: A coffee maker!

My mom and sister visited for my birthday. Benjamin had already unwrapped the presents from my mom in her room. She re-wrapped them, but Benjamin remembered what was in them. As he handed me each present, he told me what it was.
Benjamin: Here, Mom! It's a movie! Here, Mom! It's a picture frame!

Benjamin's very into seeing things. If you're cooking something, you have to show him. If you're using a spice, he has to see into the container and smell it. If you get a piece of gum, he wants you to show him, even if he's seen you do it a million times. The best yet, however, was when he told me he wanted to "see the nothing in that cup."
