Quotes from the boys

Ben has changed his name. It happened two weeks ago. He is pretty positive about it too. He says over and over, "My name is John. Call me John. I'm John!" Ben says this with a large grin on his face. He isn't sure what John would say, other than his name. So he just repeats the above over and over till you acknowledge "John". The kid is a goof. It's funny because he was almost named John. We would have called him Jack. Whatever he says, I still think he is the perfect Benjamin Gleason Bemis.

Every morning when we go downstairs Will points to a saying we have on the wall and says "What's that say?" To which I respond, "Go confidentially in the direction of your dreams." This seems like such a confusing statement for a two year old so I always end up rambling afterwards about listening to your heart, be what you want to be, do what you

want to do. So this morning when Will asked "what's that say?" and I tell him, I was beyond thrilled to hear him say "Follow my heart, mom?" Yes Will follow your heart!

Will also likes to climb into the big kid seat next to his car seat. Every time he does I tell him he needs to sit in his car seat. Now he tells me, "Police man give you a ticket?" If he tries to climb in my seat I always tell him no. To which he will say, "I'm 16 mom!" Not yet buddy!

Will saying Cheese! Ben as John
