Fisher Price Day at the Zoo

Today we met with Kristi and Andrew at the zoo for Fisher-Price day at the zoo. They had Dora and all the Fisher-Price toys for the kids to play with. Ben and Andrew had a lot of fun playing with the toys and seeing the animals, too. The pictures all have a redish tint because the 'tent' was red.

Mexican Fiesta Night at the Wolny's

It was Mexican fiesta night at the Wolny house this evening. I though I'd be daring and see if Ben would eat a taco/burrito. And he did not disappoint. He slaughtered the thing! And surprisingly, he really didn't get that messy. We had more to clean up with mashed potatoes last night than with the taco.

Cozy Coupe

Saturday we went to Andrew's first birthday party. It was a lot of fun. Ben had a great time playing in Andrew's Cozy Coupe!

What Comes After 1??

Trains, Noses and Ears

Trains go woo-woo, noses go beep beep and fingers go in ears

East Harbor, Lake Erie

We went for a little road trip over to East Harbor on the lake this weekend. Ben was a little timid around the water at first, but got over that very quickly.

Will Work for Food

We've decided Ben is ready to get his first job - watering plants. He will work for pizza, bananas, PB & J, animal crackers and scrambled eggs. He is very dedicated to watering plants and tends to throw a fit when he has to stop.

Just Add Water

Grandma Balyeat came up to spend the week with Ben while our sitter was on vacation. Ben and Grandma spent the majority of the week outside playing with the hose and the garden scooter.

Sippy Cups are for Babies!

Ben is all about drinking out of regular cups now. Though, he's only allowed to do so outside. He does really well drinking out of the cup, but is still learning the whole don't over tip the cup. He ended up with most of the water on himself.

Perrysburg Fireworks

We rode our bikes to the Perrysburg fireworks last night. Ben had a good time running around Fort Meigs and playing with his glow necklace. He liked the fireworks a lot and clapped when they started the finale of the show.

The Garden Hose

Ben really likes the garden hose and sprinkler. He takes the hose out of the holder, winds it back in. He tries to water the plants and his belly and his head.

Swimming With Cameryn

Ben and Cameryn went swimming at the Perrysburg pool yesterday. They had a lot of fun in the zero entry pool, which really is perfect for toddlers. They played catch, or chase, with the water toys and jumped off the wall into the pool and tried to climb the stairs to the big water slide, but did not succeed.

I'll Just Help Myself

So Ben decided he was hungry before going to bed this evening. So what did he do? He went into the kitchen, opened the pretzel/bread drawer, got out the pretzels and helped himself to probably a dozen pretzels. Guess it's time to put a lock on that drawer...

Had to get the other stuff out of the way so he could get to the pretzels

Where Sticks Belong

Ben really likes sticks. Now he has finally figured out that they go in the yard waste bag. The other day he picked up a stick and walked all the way to the other side of the house to put it in the bag.
