We gave Benjamin his real Gotcha Day present. It was a GeoTrax train set. He has enjoyed driving the train around with the remote control. He is learning how to take the track apart and put it back together. Mama and Papa are also enjoying the new trainset. We've bought another train so we can run a remote control too! Ben didn't want to share and we really wanted to play with it.We bought this train set December 2005, before we knew anything about Benjamin. And now that we finally pulled it out from under the bed, we discover it is difficult to find additional pieces. So if you see extra track, let us know. Mama wants to expand the track.

The other day I came home to find Papa and Ben doing the dishes. Benjamin loves water, so it makes sense that he would enjoy rinsing the dishes. Some of the dishes were rinsed over and over again. There was a small lake on the floor below the sink. But all in all, Ben was a great helper. We know it is good for him to put some of his energy to helping out around the house. He loves throwing things away. He has learned to turn the TV on and off and I taught him how to change channels this week. Now to teach him to stop on the shows I want to watch. No matter what, he is adorable!

He met a friend at the park the other day. He very sweetly petted the little puppy.
