Friday Five: Ben Edition
I haven't posted much about Ben lately. I've been so busy at work and with other projects I have going on the side that I haven't posted pictures or anything of him in a while. So here's a short list on some things about Ben as well as a few pictures!
1. When Ben sees (or hears) an airplane he gets so overly excited that he grabs his hair (not kidding) and screams "aiwpwane!" over and over at the top of his lungs. I only have photographic proof of this:
2. He will sometimes count to 3 (which is really "two, two, free") and throws in an 8 and 9 every now and then. I tribute this to the fact that he watches a lot of Little Einsteins and we count the steps going up and down from our house. We count a lot!
3. He is still the pickiest eater ever but will scarf down a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in minutes. If I gave him a PBJ sandwich every day he would eat it and that's more than okay with me!
4. We bought Ben a Cars potty seat this week but have only had time for one unsuccessful attempt at going potty. He actually got kind of scared from sitting on it so we'll have to get a book or video to accompany it. Time will tell!
5. We'll be taking Ben to his first baseball game in June and on his first camping trip in May. I'm mortified excited to see how he'll handle these experiences. He is doing better at being more obedient and listening to us when we tell him to do things. Hopefully his terrible twos will not be so terrible! (Kiss of death by me saying that right?)
I think it's time for a haircut.
The kid is just too dang cute! Thanks for posting those adorable pictures!
Cute pictures! Where are you camping?
Oh, thanks for putting up the pictures, he is so freakin' adorable! I love the stories, he sounds like so much fun!
too cute missy! He gets more handsome every day!!
Love the airplane story.... and I see you found some bluebonnets!!
Very cute pics of that little guy! I love the one with the baseball cap! Hope you are doing well! Haven't talked to you in a bit!
This is a great post! He is so stinking cute. Man... I need to see you guys again. :-)
He is such a cute kid! How old is he? I don't know if you remember Amy (then Baumann), but she has a little girl that seems to be the same age as Ben. That age seems so fun!
That is one gorgeous boy you got there!! And yes, camping is going to be INTERESTING, to say the least!!!!
At the risk of repeating everyone else (though I am sure you don't tire of it! lol) Ben is so handsome, seriously good luck when he hits puberty! :)
I don't know which picture (or facial expression) I like best!
He's going to be one of those boys in elementary school that has 10 girls surrounding him at one time.
He's so freakin' cute, it should be crime. :)
Josh has been taking our boys camping since they were little, and they love it. Ben should do great.
I think his hair is adorable and gives him character.
Okay, those pictures are just breathtaking. He's such an extraordinarily cute kid, seriously.
Aw you guys are all so nice! John and I actually think we figured out the hair grabbing. We think he thinks it's "hair-plane" instead of "airplane!" So we have been trying all weekend to help him realize it's AIR, not HAIR! He learned to say Hair first so I totally understand why he'd think that! Anyway. It's so funny. He says airplane now, and we haven't had any more hair grabbing, but it was still cute when he did it!
No! Don't cut his hair! Then what will he grab when an airplane goes by!
