Mama's mustache

I love my sweet little Benjamin. For every frustrating moment I have with him on a typical day there are a dozen more that melt my heart. It's a good thing too because there are times we really need those sweet moments to make it through the day. Case in point....

Benjamin was not speaking very kindly to me.

Me: Benjamin, it hurts my feelings when you talk to me that way.
Ben: Your feelings hurt, mama?
Me: Yes.
Ben: You want me to kiss your feelings?
Me: Yes.
Ben: Where?
Me: (points to mouth)
Ben: Okay. I will kiss it. (Gives me a kiss) You want me to pray for it?
Me: Yes.
Ben: (Puts little hand on my mouth) Dear God, please help mama's mustache to feel better. Amen.

I laughed so hard....then immediately checked to see there was anything on my upper lip. There wasn't so I laughed some more.

Playing School

Benjamin has been to preschool just two mornings now and cannot get enough. Each time I've picked him up he has asked to go back almost immediately. I'm sure he would love to go more than just once a week, but I'm not sure I can part with his funny little ways more than that. And so he has found another way to have school more frequently....during nap time. What I wouldn't give for a video monitor on days like today.

Here's a sample of Benjamin's nap time school:
