Tuesday Toddler Talk

The older Sammy gets the more his personality is emerging. He is one stinkin funny kid!!!!! He makes us laugh all the time just by a look he gives or the way he does his ninja stance. He usually doesn't even need to say anything to make us crack up  but one of his favorite things to say is

"Mom, wook me!" 

 and then he will do some kind of crazy, dangerous, or silly thing. Some of his favorite are standing on one leg and shaking the other, putting his lovey named Headdy on his head, shaking his head, or making a silly face. But his all time favorite thing to do is stand on the kitchen table. I'm pretty sure it is because it gets the biggest reaction out of me.

Sammy, I'm so glad you make sure we are looking at you as you do your amazing stunts!

Tuesday Toddler Talk

The other day at church Ben held up his finger with something crusty on the end of it and asked, "Mom what is this." To which I replied "It's a boogie" and then he responded

"Boogies don't live in ears!!!!"

Tuesday Toddler Talk

These boys are so darn cute but don't let them fool you they are sneaky little stink pots. They wake up every morning between 6:00- 6:30. That is way too early for me. So we usually just put on a movie for them to watch and then go back to bed.

The other morning I woke up with a start when I heard Ben say, "Are you sure this is a good idea?"

To which Sam promptly replied "Yep!"

I ran down stairs as fast as I could just to see Sam playing with one of my paint brushes that I had left out. Whew! Dodged a bullet on that one. Back to bed I go.

Tuesday Toddler Talk ~

One morning while picking up Ben's friend to go to pre-school he came into the car with some medicine he needed to finish drinking. Ben asked him why he had medicine and his little buddy said very matter-o-factually, "Because I cough and I totally pick my nose."

He wasn't lying he really does pick his nose but it turns out the medicine is actually for allergies. :0) I love how kids think!!!! (Thanks Lesha for permission to post this!)

Tuesday Toddler Talk~ Dad's specialty

Tom loves making smoothies!!!! When Ben was about two, Tom made him one and called it a "Special Drink." Ben tried repeating it but it came out "Special Geek." From then on it has always been "Special Geek."  Thanks Tom for treating us with your awesomeness.

Tuesday Toddler Talk~ Tansformers

The other day I put on Ben's Transformer Helmet and as I was doing it I sang, "Transformers, more than meets the eye." And then Ben repeated me "Transformers, more than eats the fly."

 No wonder he has a hard time following instructions. Who knows what that boy really hears when someone talks to him.

Funny Ben!

Tuesday Toddler Talk ~ Ben's Prayers

When Ben starts his prayers you never really know what he is going to say. Usually he looks around the room for something to talk about. This is how his prayer went tonight.

Ben ~ Dear Hevy Fader. Tank you for dis day. Tank you dat mommy could be mean and I could cry. Pwees bwess da food. In da name of Jesus Cwist amen.

Mom and Dad ~ Amen. Hahahahaha.

Me mean?!!!? Never!!!!!!!!!

Tuesday Toddler Talk

Mom, I'm so drinky. I want to drink something for my thirst.

Tuesday Toddler Talk ~ Looking for Halloween

Yesterday Ben asked me where Halloween went and I told him it was gone. For the next hour we listened to him scream and cry that he wanted to go outside and look for it. It didn't matter how we tried to explain it to him. So the only thing left for us to do was to let him go outside and try to find Halloween.

 He wore his spider headband hoping that maybe that would help him find it. 

Silly Ben

Tuesday Toddler Talk

While I was working at the computer the other day I heard Ben say

I'm not touching anything

I turned around and found him with one hand behind his back. And his other hand stretched out to show me that it was empty. Before I could say anything to him he said,

Don't say, "No" Mom.And he showed me my tape measure he pulled out of my craft supplies. Oh Ben you are one funny guy.... and you know your mom so well.

Tuesday Toddler Talk

Ben said this priceless phrase Sunday night during dinner.

~~~~You're not a nice lady. You're a mommy.~~~~

Tuesday Toddler Talk

Last week I was making pancakes for breakfast and Ben was helping.

He said he was "stoving." He is one cute kid. I love his belly shirt in this picture. These pj's are size 4T. How can my 2 year old grow so fast?

Tuesday Toddler Talk

The other night we were having zucchini from my parents' garden fried up with some onions. As soon as Ben saw the onions the conversation went like this.
Ben - "Are those worms?"
Me - "They sure do look like worms, don't they"
Ben - "Cool, worms!!!!!!!"A little later in the meal he said, "This one is snaking out" I'm guessing he was trying to say slithering but couldn't think of the word. The worms were a big success in the Lufkin household, he ate them all (after playing with them of course). Sometimes you just gotta play with your food.

Because he ate all his dinner, he got to celebrate with a fudgesicle. Yummm!

Tuesday Toddler Talk

Who knows how often I will do Tuesday Toddler Talk but Ben says enough funny things to keep it going for a while. And soon Sam will add to the excitement.
A few weeks ago Ben kept saying he wanted the "barbecue car" it took me forever to figure out that he was talking about a "Barbie Car". He was so excited to go to Nana's house to play with her "barbecue car" again.
