Becca (7yo) is sitting at the computer. In her left-hand is our neighbor’s mobile phone, playing some Katy Perry song. With her right hand, she types “Katy Perry” into YouTube search. Using auto-suggest, she finds the song she looking for (“Hot & Cold”).
Man, oh, man…

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 him that.

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…
