A Bit Confused...Yet Completely Sure...

Maybe it is because he is in a house full of older siblings, the "baby syndrome".  Maybe it is because he is totally adorable when he does it and realizes his mother thinks (at the moment) nothing else is cuter, therefore, he continues to do it.  Maybe it is because he truly thinks he is correct... Regardless of how I try to rationalize it, Ben and his completely untrue yet totally hysterical statement, have me smitten!  

 

Ask Ben how old he is and without fail or hesitation he replies 

"I five."  

Not a doubt crosses this little love's mind upon his answer. 

Not only will he tell you 

"I five." 

But he will also tell you 

"Ca-Ca two."  (Charlie two.) 

In fact, anyone besides Ben is two.  Grandparents, parents, other children...we are all two.  Occasionally someone will be three, but that is very rare! 

So, maybe he gets it.  At the moment, he is the "baby" on both sides of the family and for this momma, I am holding on tightly to all these little "baby" moments.  I will pay for it one day, I know.  But not today!  

He is so proud to be five!  

How in love with this little boy am I?!  

Lots and Lots my sweet Ben Ben!
