A few days ago Benjamin got his first scraped knee! He was running outside and fell on his knees. Considering my knees are still scarred from all the times I fell and scraped my knees, I was excited Ben was exeperiencing such a major part of childhood. I made sure he was okay, and then convinced him to come inside for a band-aid. He wasn't really ready to stop playing, but agreed to investigate what a band-aid might be. I cleaned up his little knee and applied a crayola band-aid. We let him pick out what color he wanted. The band-aid actually stayed on for about 2 minutes. His knee really wasn't that scraped, but I consider this a major right of passage!
Lori, Jason and Luke came over for dinner last weekend. Ben had a nice time playing with Luke. Lilly came over for a little while too, and the three of them played very well. Luke liked Ben's porch swing. Ben enjoyed pushing Luke in the swing. Great partnership!

Lois and I have really enjoyed the pictures of Ben. Looks like to me he is milking all the attention from his mom as possible from that scrapped knee. I think this boy has no fear, got a kick out of him on Uncle Raymens tractor, looked to me like he was ready to drive. We really enjoyed having him back here in Missouri for a visit.
