Ben loves to look at the moon every night before bed. This week he is wanting his usual trio of bedtime pals - blankie, panda, and Elmo. But he's asked for some "extras" this week also. One night he wanted the wooden frog in his room. One night it was the Cookie Monster iPod toy, and the next night it was a flashlight. He is going to bed like a big boy, though, so I am counting my blessing. He just gives hugs, kisses, and "rubs noses" with us and then says, "Night night!" Ben loves routines.
Here are some cute things Ben says now:
When we come home every afternoon, he shouts, "Home!" when we pull in the driveway.
When I turn the corner in the car, he yells, "Hold on, Mama!"
He likes to jump up and down and flail around while saying, "I crazy!"
He waves at everyone in the grocery store and says, "Hi! How doin'?" But he only talks if he engages them first. If someone speaks to him first, he gets shy.
Here are some pics from this week:
