funny things

Real quick funny things:

• On Sunday we went shopping at BJ's. In the parking lot, Addie said she needed a bulldozer. Much to our surprise they had bulldozers in the toy aisle. Ben got a dump truck. At the far end of the aisle, she says she doesn't want the bulldozer- that she wants the purple thing instead. We take her back down the aisle and see a Cinderella doll in purplpe packaging. She trades her bulldozer for the Cinderella. Ben immediately starts handing over his dump truck too. He trades his dump truck for a Belle barbie! Brian supported it! I was very impressed. I thought he would have a harder time with accepting that preference.
• On the car ride home, Ben and Addie both stripped their dolls down to nothing. Atta boy, Benjamin! It was entertaining to see him ogling her boobs. As many of you know, this boy is still nursing. He's obsessed!
• Our car rides have been filled with the alternating song choice of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" by Bruce Springsteen and "You Can Call Me Al." Over and over and over again.
• Brian and I bought a water slide this weekend! We can't wait for the weather to be warm enough to use it!! The kids will have fun too.
• Ben's vocab has blossomed over the past week. His latest additions: yellow, Addie (not Adda), Bye (with emphasis on the 'i' sound), Hi (again same emphasis now!), yes, and no. He's also really good at saying juxtaposition for some odd reason.
