Exhausting

Ben just said, "I'm exhausting!" I busted out laughing! I think he meant 'exhausted' but I sure wasn't about to mess with the meaning of what he said!!! ♥ Love that kid!

Fun With Markers

Sweet Boy

Yesterday Ben was sitting with me in the pool and he pointed up to a cloud that covered the sun and said, "Mom, we're doewing to have a wunderstorm!" with much concern.

I guess all my discussion about the danger of being in the water when there are electrical storms have sunk in with him. I totally adore that he calls it a wunderstorm!! I think I will go and give him some candy.

Here he is with his daddy on Father's Day:
Here he is with Keaton at Keaton's Birthday Party:

Benjamin Loves His Daddy

WoW!

This morning I made a zebra blanky for Ben. I called him upstairs to give it to him and as he was climbing up the stairs he said,

"Aww, Mom, you made that for me? Wow!"

He loves it! Yay! I win!

And off he goes, back downstairs to play

He's Terribly Terrific Two

He's so big.

He's so little.

He's not a baby anymore!

He's almost as big a fighter as that 5 year old brother of his.

He's just as sweet, too!

He could scream the ears off of a snake.

I love him a little bit.

Painting Is Fun

Today I let Ben paint with a paintbrush and his fingers. He really liked it and it was very entertaining to watch him be creative and experience the look and feel of the paint on his hands and on the paper.

Potty Dance

Benjamin woke up this morning and said, "Mom, I want to pee in the potty."

Then I took off his diaper, sat him on the potty, and he did pee!

Walter has been taking him to the potty for a little over a week at diaper changes. He's really getting the hang of it!!

Woo Hoo, Ben!

Cuteness Overload ~ Not Really Possible!

Cuteness

Two Years and Two Months

Ben talks in sentences these days. He is delightful. Sometimes I look at him and see my wonderful little baby - and then he says, "Mommy, when can we have dinner?"

"Mommy, I'm poopy, I'm stinky!"
"Play Play-Doh, Daddy. Just one minute, please!"
"It's puzzle time!"
"This is not hot, it's just warm."

Today he brought me the piggy bank and a screw driver and said, "I want the money out. Open it, Mommy."

Not The Baby Anymore

Two Years One Month

Ben is sooooo funny. He is a big joker and kidder. He has the best hugs and kisses of any toddler! He's very expressive and really let's you know what he thinks about the situation he's in! He stands up to his brothers and I think soon he will be able to take them both at the same time. He is big and strong!

Ben loves to sing and count. He amazes us sometimes with what he says and does!
