What an eventful few days it has been! This is going to be an extra long blog!
First, Jeremy and I wanted to show off our little Picasso!
Benjamin has shown a huge interest in coloring, and he sits still for 20 minutes at a time working on his masterpieces. We have to keep an eye on him, because he still tries to eat the crayons, but for the most part, he does well.
He hasn’t decided yet if he prefers his right or left hand. He uses both for every activity, though sometimes it seems he favors his left.
On Friday, Jeremy and I decided Benjamin needed to try out his first ice cream cone. I was given a gift certificate to The Cone, so it worked out perfectly!
He had so much fun, not only with his ice cream cone, but also with the large bear statue drinking fountain, the rides and the general atmosphere.
He made sure to check to see if Daddy’s tasted the same.
And, he kept saying “Cold!” This was funny, because his favorite thing to say when eating usually is “Hot!”
He ate every last bite.
DOG!
He LOVED the little rides, and was the perfect age for them.
The Cat in the Hat was quite amusing. Benjamin laughed every time he looked at it…over and over again.
We didn’t like the clown!
Saturday, we went to a wedding in Urbana. It was quite a trek! Benjamin loved playing with all the toys the bride and groom provided at the reception, but the funniest part was how he reacted to the lights! He stood in the middle of the dance floor and just stared at the disco ball and the flashing lights. We had to drag him out of there so he didn’t get trampled!
You can’t see from this photo, but on his way into the reception, he wiped out and scraped up both knees. He is looking pretty beat up with all his cuts and bruises! He gets new ones daily!
