Benjamin says the darndest things.

Benjamin had his 4th birthday this past Monday (April 4th).  His magic birthday too (turning 4 on the 4th).  I thought I would write a blog about him.  If the tv show "kids say the darndest things was still on he would be a prime candidate for that show.  Here are just  a few examples:
About a year ago we started giving him money for doing jobs.  One day he was looking at his money and he said "Daddy I am going to take to the bus to the car store and buy a big green van and drive to Superstore and do the grocercty shopping all by myself."   I looked at how much he had, it was about $1.25.  Not even enough for a bus ride never mind the big green van and the groceries.
One morning I woke with Benjamin stairing me in the face.  He knew that we needed to go shopping that day and he wanted to help out so he woke me up to say "Daddy, I can babysit Kaleb and Uncle William so that you and Mommy can go and do the shopping."
A few weeks ago as we were leaving church he saw all the snow.  He turned to me a said "Daddy you make a snowball and give it to me and then I will throw it out.
For his birthday he asked for a tiny green remote helicopter so that he could go on big adventures.
Today in church Kara was trying to get him to sit on the bench.  He said no because "my underware is in my butt."  (His way of saying he has a weddgie).  And he said it loud enough for at least four other people to hear and start snickering.

Oh Benjamin will love you.
