A good Benny one-liner: "Mom, all my licks live in my mouth."
Yeah, it took me a while to figure out what he was saying there.
My dear little baby Benny. We went upstairs to his room and I had Sadie and she was screaming her head off in a sort of end of the day, overstimulated, I want to be asleep but I can't settle down, I'm vaguely gassy freak-out. Benny got his blue blanket off his bed, went and sat down by the bookshelf and read "Wheels on the Bus" in the DEAREST little singing voice to himself very earnestly and cheerfully. When he got done with it the first time, he said, "MOM I read the whole book all by myself" and then he looked at Sadie who was still in full freak-out and said, "I guess I better read it again." Of course his reading in his charming but loud little chirpy voice was actually keeping her awake and every time her eyes would close, he would quack out another verse and they would pop open accompanied by a hearty bellow, but hey. What could I do? It was too cute. Eventually she went to sleep. :) And so did he. Eventually, they all do. This I am learning.
