I Love You, Too!!

Hearing "I love you" from your kids has got to be one of the sweetest things.  Benjamin says it all the time now.  Sometimes prompted and it is an "I love you, too" sometimes just out of the blue he will touch my face gently and say "I WUV you, Mama!"  Such a sweet, sweet, boy... Most of the time!!
Another really funny thing he says is if he gets in trouble for something he goes  in another room and says "I'm sleeping" because he knows that when he is sleeping no one will bother him. Or, he says "I'm working" because that must be what he hears Marty and I say all the time when we are trying to work from home.  Anyway, today he was outside when we were calling him in for bedtime.  Newsflash: he HATES to sleep so he said he was working. His work was helpfully pulling the all the petals off of  the roses and making a pile with them.

His not so sweet side lately is throwing.  He has a GREAT arm and aim and has been throwing a lot lately.  Unfortunately, hitting people in the head with a wooden toy or train from across the room or knocking over a glass with a fork from across the table.  Hopefully we can redirect the throwing to balls when he is outside.
