Using Complete Sentences

One thing we're really impressed with lately is Ben's ability to say complete thoughts. I know this isn't baffling for a 2 and a half year old by any means, but with a history of speech delay and hearing loss in our family we are so grateful Ben is doing so well! Here are some of his more recent sentences:

• Mommy, want a go home and play Wii with daddy tonight, okay? Much fun?
• Wow, Mommy, it so serene. (He seriously said this in the parking lot of Whole Foods last night. It was getting dark and he was looking over at the display of Christmas Trees up in the windows in the front of the store as I was putting him in the car. Serene? Seriously? I made him repeat it 3 times!)
• (after laughing hysterically when I picked him up yesterday) Josh made a mess at school today! (continued by more hysterical laughter)
• Mommy I hurt aself!
• Want a go to Abby and Carters house tonight, okay? Kelli and Baby Corgan's house? Madyson and Zayn's house? Grandpa Saunders again? Want a go Grandma's house and play play-doh, okay? (he loves telling me where we're going, especially if it's to see his friends, he also gets mad when we drive by a store like Target, Walmart or Sam's and insists on going there, too)

Anyway. I need to get this stuff on video or audio because his little voice is so cute! And speaking of Abby & Carter, we're babysitting my sister's kids this weekend while they go galavanting to NY (LUCKY!) so we're excited to get to spend so much time with Abby and Carter and take lots of pictures! Pray for us though, we're gonna find out quick what it's like going from one to three kids! Mandie will get her payback, though, in January when she watches Ben so we can celebrate our Anniversay in style!
