Facts of Life - 3 yrs

Benjamin Edward Lewicki.  I do not have the time nor vocabulary to adequately describe how much joy this boy gives me.  He escaped the 2's without entering the terrible stage, and for that I am a little nervous, but mostly extremely grateful!  He's a cuddle bug, a human pretzel, super inquisitive, caring and hilarious.  He's pretty special :)

Height: 39" (78%)
Weight: 33.6lb (68%)
BMI: 15.53 (15.53%)

Benjamin is all about forming sentences, and he thinks he's the "cat's meow" when he does it.  His 'go to' phrases are: "actually, I think...",  "I'm pretty sure that I thinks...", "I'm just so excited to...", "momma, whatchu doing?"...and more.  He also likes to tell his sister how to speak correctly.  "Videt, no say juice, say milk...Videt say milk...momma Videt just say juice..."  or "Videt, you say thank you, Benin say your welcome.  Videt, sweetie, you say thank you?".  He cracks us up!  He also just learned that his last name is Lewicki...pronounced "Luwookie"  He loves to say it, and we love to hear it. :)

Benjamin loves gum, but doesn't have a good track record at keeping it in his mouth.  Daddy told him that he can try again when we move to Virginia Beach and this has the little man asking hourly if its time to go to "Ginia Beeech momma?  I'm SO CITED for ginia.  we go now?"  He also thinks he's going to catch crabs in his bug collector net that he got for his birthday.  and see whales.  and nemo.  :)

He's super helpful with Violet...when she lets him, and obedient when he's not being silly.  Daddy and I joke with him so much that its proving to be difficult for him to always decipher when to be serious...sometimes he assumes wrong, and other times he pretends to assume wrong.  It's a tiring game of ring around!

Benjamin sleeps from around 8:00-6:45ish.  He takes a nap about every other day.  He was easily potty trained about 9 months ago, but we still are soaking pull ups at night.  I think we'll work on that once we move...

Well unfortunately a little blonde girl kept me up most of last night, so I can't think straight or type more.  This was short and sweet, but I'm pretty excited for a very exciting summer, and a little man who's going to make it all pretty exciting! G'nite!

so.many.posts.

I have a new disorder I need address...Obsessive, compulsive photography.  I can't stop taking pictures of my kids.  I just recently discovered that I have an advanced form of this disorder, and not only can I not stop taking pictures, but I'm convinced that they are so cute, I need to share these pictures with all of you.  

I need to talk to a professional, because I am still confused about where exactly the problem lies...in the initial opinion of their cute factor, the desire to take photos, or the eager fingers that click away to share the pictures with all of you.  Thankfully this seems to go in waves, so I'll quit clicking soon, but until then - enjoy their smiles :)
