Ben

...stopped drinking milk all of a sudden a few weeks ago and hasn't looked back.

...talks about Shelby like she's a real person (which she is) but it's really cute. He talks about the kinds of toys she will want to play with, the things they will do together, and what clothes she will like.

...is moody.

...loves to cuddle on the couch and watch movies.

...is still so completely into trains. I thought he would start to get over them, but he is currently laying on the floor playing with his new Thomas trains. I'm not complaining!

...loves Star Wars.

...watches this movie over and over and over. It has no dialogue, just video of trains. He loves it.

...hates taking baths and getting his hair washed. HATES IT.

...will help me do anything, even if I really don't want his help.

...will still pretty much let me put him in any clothes I want him to wear. I hope this lasts for a while.

...but he can't dress himself. He is not coordinated enough to actually take his own shirts off (pants, yes, shirts, no)

...wakes up at 6:30am on the dot to go potty. Which pretty much means he's wide awake at 6:30am. We still make him go back in his room until at least 7. I know, we're so mean.

...hugs me at least 8,700 times a day.

...is an awesome kid.
