A Boy Named Jenny

 Have you ever heard of the Boy Named Sue?

 Well, Orelia hasn't.

 But she has heard of the Boy Named Jenny.

 Also known as Bennett, to most people.

 Orelia is a nickname girl.  She just randomly comes up with nicknames and sticks with them.

Right now Bennett is "Jen" or "Jenny" to her, even though I don't think she knows this is a name (much less a girl's name).

  This boy named Jenny is quite a riot these days.  He runs around everywhere he goes, roaring with laughter.

 He has an absolute ball playing with Harper in any way she will allow him.

Bennett isn't exactly known for his gentleness, so it's a good thing Harper is in line for sainthood.

He literally climbed on top of Harper and attempted to ride her, exclaiming "trit trot!"

 The coolest thing to witness lately is his language explosion.  Just in the last week he has started to put some many ideas together and we can basically have a conversation with each other.

His favorite sentence is "I aunt..." (meaning "I want") and he will say anything from "yewwo bap-oe" (yellow backhoe), to "more eat," to "big trash truck" (which we don't own, but he knows he can find one at Dylan's house).

Last night Orelia brought a blanket to the couch and Bennett said "blanket too" (meaning he wanted a blanket too).  I didn't even know he knew the word "blanket" much less knew the concept of too/also.

He's become obsessed with calling Uncle Bobby on FaceTime and says things like "Baba home?" or "Baba 'night?"

 This boy named Jenny is really blowing my mind lately with everything he's learning.  Watch out world, there is a "yewwo bap-oe" loving big boy on the loose.
