Ben is now a year old.
I cannot believe how fast time flies. It seems just yesterday he was sleeping in our room just a few feet away from me in his crib.
Now, he shares a room with his older brother, walks, is on all table foods, drinks from sippy cups and is picking up language very quickly. Next year, during this time, he will no doubt be yelling something at his brother (and at Mommy and Daddy I'm sure), running around with him and getting into all sorts of trouble.
I know there will be at least one trip to the emergency room before the year is up and will probably average about 3 trips per year between the two boys till age 24. It scares the living day lights outta me.
The kids had fun as there was a playground near the picnic shelter. The weather was COLD! It's June already! How could it have only been in the mid 60s? That's just crazy!
Bee cake turned out - it was eaten - but I believe Alex put it best when he said, "behold the power of cake" when I expressed surprise that people actually ate the somewhat 'bee' shaped homemade cake.
Ben made out good (combo of toys and cash!). THE best gift award goes to myself and Alex however for the purchase of the Birthday Wagon. It's a really simple wagon really - two seater (front and back facing) with seat buckles and cup/drink holders on either side. It also comes with a canaopy. And if you turn down the seat backs, the flat surface then can be used as a makeshift bed for a napping child.
Functionally, it works for both kids, though it was a purchase specifically in honor of Ben's birthday. Both kids LOVES riding in it, and Jack discovered he loves pulling Ben in it. It's really cute - big brother pulling little brother down the block in a little red wagon. So cute! I just want to eat them up.
Photos will be posted shortly....stay tuned.
