Spring 2015

Beni Berger, I can’t believe you are almost 4.5.  You are loving life and just a joy.  Lately, you’ve been a little whiny but nothing too extreme.  There are days when you test your limits.. that is for sure.

In the last month, you have perfected using scissors and scotch tape.  You also love to draw and color.  Everything in the house has scotch tape; walls, cabinets, toys, blankets, tables, chairs, couches, carpet, floors, you name it, it needs scotch tape.  We now live in Beni’s museum.  The good pics go high enough on the wall so didi can’t get them. 

You still have your standard favorite foods – white rice, Spanish rice, butter noodles, carrots, steam broccoli, corn bread, corn, apples, pears, grapes and watermelon.  Snack favs – gummies, lil muffins, goldfish, jelly beans, hershey’s chocolate and lately – mini magnum bars. 

Your teachers love you at FCDC.  Melissa and Opal are your all time favs at FCDC.  Kaylee also gets to babysit you once a month J  Lately, you’ve been pretty busy with birthday parties.  And, you have a special girlfriend, Skylar. 

This spring, you have soccer and tee ball with Lorilei.  I think having friends on the team really makes it fun for you.  We don’t have a lot of summer plans but I’m sure we will find fun like we do every year. 

Classic Ben-isms:

4/7  I love her (Skylar), I want to draw a picture of her.  Wyatt hit her in the fact so I hit him.  She drew me a heart picture yesterday and it makes me so happy.

4/10  (mama) Your head smells.  (Beni) Does it smell delicious? 

Stabilize means darth vader is too strong.  He looks like he’s disappointed.

4/22 (heating pad) This feels great.  I got sand in my eye and this feels much better

4/27 We eat crayons b/c crayons give us energy.  I’m drinking the dirty bath water b/c I’m a water machine. 

Scooch in there (to baba)

(Bill) Please don’t lick stuff, you will get sick (Beni)  Then I can’t lick my food?
I’m using the force to get you down.

(Ben) Bill you are wrong and I’m right.  You have to agree that I’m right.

5/19 If I poop too long, I will lose my ten minutes of iPad time.  But my poop doesn’t know ten minutes.  Mama, I don’t want to wear my underwear.  We don’t need to wear underwear on earth

5/24  I want didi back in your belly
