weinraub’s words

For reasons that are not quite clear to me, Benjamin has taken to counting syllables in words and phrases. He’s great at it, gotta give that.

Becca wants to dye her hair blonde. Mommy compromised with some highlights. It came out a bit Bride-of-Frankenstein-ish, but still cute. She’s happy with it – she got compliments from her friends at school – but I can see the wheels starting to turn in prep her next pitch at doing the whole thing.

Out of nowhere, Benjamin comes to me and starts reciting/solving basic addition problems:

3 + 1 = 4
4 + 5 = 9

Way to go!

Becca and I are watching this video and she goes, “Rock and roll? Yeah, rock and roll Christmas!”

That’s my girl.

So I’m in the grocery store, running down my shopping list. Milk, bread, etc. Down at the bottom, I find that someone has added an extra item: “Toys”. Wonder how that got there? Becca, looking at you.

Benjamin, while playing a difficult online video game: “This game is impossible!”

First time I heard him use that word. Pretty funny…
