Momeee!

Being a momma is pretty incredible.  I really really love it.  There are however times that hearing your title over and over and over and over isn't incredible.  Unfortunately that is Benjamin's new "favorite activity"!

Other Benjamin news:

• He loves singing "Super Why" and "Dinosaur Train".  
• He names EVERYTHING he sees.  And if he isn't sure what its called, "What's that?" is shouted out REPEATEDLY until he learns the name.
• If you ask him to finish his food 'all gone' and give him a motivator (like getting to watch t.v.) he shoves ALL his food in his mouth.
• He's AWESOME at picking up his toys
• We're gaining ground on our numbers, but have resorted to humor if we don't know them.  I'm not losing hope...It happened with our letters until one week he just decided to master them!
• He would live outside if he could.  You think I'm exaggerating.  I am not.  He LOVES the park and pool!
• We're experimenting with a later bed time and trying to sleep in later.  Tonight Joel and I got some light blocking curtains and we'll see how the morning goes!
• Benjamin Loves running, but quickly switches to marching when commanded.  :)
• If we don't get enough energy out, Benjamin runs from our front door to the kitchen door.  For those of you who have been to my house, you know that it isn't very far!
• He's having a little bit of a hard time sharing.  It could be worse, but we have some work to do!  Its normally not a problem with peers, just with Violet.  However the other day at the pool, he was very protective of Violets floaty seat.  It was kind of embarrassing.
• He has special "cookie radar".  He woke up from his nap the other day. stopped in the hall.  looked up at the counter, pointed and said, "Cookie! Cookie!.  And that night, as he marched off to his crib, he threw up his hand with a wave, saying, "night cookie!"  :)

And that concludes my "need to remember" Benjamin notes...As always, there are many more, but I'm pretty tired!  G'nite all!
