Colors

Benjamin officially knows his colors. He use to call everything blue, literally everything, but now he says the correct colors. He sometimes gets confused on white and red (those are the hardest for him to pronounce) that sometimes he calls them blue but we are working hard on it. His favorite colors to say are purple and orange, he is always pointing those colors out. Next is onto numbers, he only knows 2 and 8. Weird, I know!

A Beast

On Saturday Ali shaved her head to support child cancer and to be a role model to her daughter at St. Baldrick's. She is so inspiring to be better in life and I can't wait to at least donate my hair at the end of this year (waiting for it to get really long). She has been wanting to do it for awhile now and finally did...she has such a pretty hear! So proud of her!

Train Table

David's cousin gave us her Thomas the Train train table since her boys out grew it. It doesn't really fit in our house, but we thought we give it a try and we are never getting rid of it, Benjamin loves it. It came with a couple of bumps and bruises, but nothing David can't fix (he actually almost broke the whole table while trying to fix it). It came with multiple tracks and trains, so much to build! Benjamin gets up from his naps and ask for choo choo, he is hooked!!

Bye-Bye

Benjamin loves to say bye-bye to us every morning from the window when we leave after we drop him off...

 

Potty Training

We attempted potty training, but it didn't go that well. Benjamin was sick, then I got sick and then David got sick. It was not a good time to try, however I attempted it anyway. He did fine at first, he just sat there reading his new books.

 

 

 

He actually potty four times on the toilet and got a treat. He then started to hate it and refused to do it at all which was when David and I started not feeling well so we put him back in the diaper. He would say "ut-oh" when he would potty in his diaper. I guess that is a good step so we will keeping introducing the potty.

 

The one thing that we did learn was that he now can drink out of a cup by himself and can walk up and down stairs holding onto one hand (he normally crawls up and down).

 

My Valentine

My Valentine got sick so we couldn't do our fun activities, but later we made heart and star shaped cookies for daddy. He had so much fun and his favorite part was the sprinkles which David had to help him with because he just kept pouring the sprinkles on the cookies.

Night, Night

Every little boy and girl has a bedtime routine, liking it is another story. Benjamin loves everything up to the point of actually going to bed. He loves to do things on his own so I thought I should get a stool to help him at the sink so he can do everything on his own. We wash our hands and mouth and brush our teeth. I think his favorite part is getting the stool out and putting it away. We ask Benjamin if he is ready for night night and he darts up the stairs and knocks on the hall closet to get the stool out. He is just so darn cute, and clean!
