We are having such a great time with Benjamin. Each day we are getting to experience more and more of his personality. He is such a happy little guy, who loves to laugh, talk and dance. He does have a bit of a strong will (did I say a bit?). We are working on listening, obeying and not hitting. He does well, until he doesn't get his way. Then watch out! But he throws very few tantrums and sits in timeout well for the most part.

He goes to day care with Aunt Melanie about 2 days a week. She has warned us that Ben is the class clown. He likes to entertain the other kids, especially at meal time.

I really am only writing this update so I can attach a new favorite picture. Ben has recently started calling me "Mama" all that time. It seems he loves to say that word. Just the other evening, Brian and I were holding hands, I in the desk chair, and Brian sitting one of the couches. Ben came over, pulled my hand from Brian's, pushed Brian's hand away, then pulled me over to the other couch, turned me around to sit down, pushed me down, then crawled up in my lap. I guess he wanted some Mama snuggle time. What fun!
