Play-Doh

I was feeling adventurous yesterday and broke out the play-doh. Ben played very well with it, actually. He really likes the vehicle set that he got for his birthday. It's kind of like Mr Potato Head for play-doh where you stick pieces and parts into the play-doh.

I Can't Hear You

Just call him DJ Benny T. A little fun with Daddy's iPod and noise canceling headphones.

Coffee? Coffee, Daddy?

Imagination Station Fun

Ben had a good time at Imagination Station today with Cameryn. He discovered the sail boats, the tree house and the fish in the grocery store. We did have one incident in the ambulance though, that resulted in Ben going into time out. Otherwise, he was a very good boy. I'm not sure he would ever not find something new to play with at Imagination Station. There is a ton of stuff in just the kid area alone that it's going to take a long time before he discovers all of it!

Ben played with the babies at the hospital, and learned how to put a blanket on the baby and how to carry the baby. (Good thing we have a very realistic baby doll at home that will come in handy in a few weeks)

Presents? Presents? Open Presents?

Someone has definitely figured out what presents are and will do just about anything for them. We had a birthday party for Ben on Sunday and he was super excited about his presents. He got a talking, dancing dump truck, a shopping cart, big trucks, clothes, a flashcard game, chairs for his train table, play-do and a workbench! It was total sensory overload. And then to top it off, a train cake on Thomas the Tank Engine plates! He is one very lucky little boy to get so many nice things!

Swimming with Aunt Sarah

A nice day to go swimming with Aunt Sarah while mommy just enjoys the nice warm water :) Aunt Sarah got a nice work out from wrestling with the little alligator and I got to enjoy the nice therapy pool when the outside temperature was 6 degrees. Just the way it should be.

Practice Makes Perfect

Practice makes perfect, so Ben needed to practice his shoveling technique with Grandma.

Shoveling

Ben hard at work. He actually has very good technique. He's quite a good little shoveler, which comes in very handy.

All Aboard!

All Aboard!! Cameryn got Ben this super cute conductor play outfit for his birthday. It came with a train whistle which Ben loves and Monster does not, a walkie talkie, hat, bandana and pocket watch. Thank you, Cameryn! :)

I Didn't Do It!

I didn't do it! Adam did! Ben needed a hair cut and I was just going to trim it up and take off a little length. Well Adam got a hold of the clippers and just kept taking the attachment shorter and shorter!

Mr Potato Head

DSack came over for a visit today and to help Ben celebrate his birthday, Rachel made some yummy cupcakes! Dan and Rachel were super nice and gave Ben a Mr Potato Head for his birthday. It was quite the hit. Ben is very partial to his glasses and the fact that his parts are stored in his tummy.
