It's Dancey Dance Time

Bennett doing the Mini Spinney followed by the Yo Gabba Gabba version. Too cute.

Circus and Preschool

This was Bennett's first week of preschool. He loves it. No tears, no asking for his old teachers, just lots of fun. Everyday he tells me "Mom, they have a computer!" I've already talked to the teachers about not letting him be on the computer all day. He likes playing with the older boys and really loves the preschool playground and the scooters. I've also added a picture from the circus from a couple of weeks ago. He had a great time at the "GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!" I can't believe he's going to be 3 next week. My baby is definitely not a baby anymore.

Trying out his little brother's stuff

Bennett is in the midst of taking the next big leap into big kid-dom: potty-training. He's doing a great job! However, he's not above trying out all the baby's stuff before he arrives. Its amazing to compare him in the carseat with the pictures from him as a baby, sitting in that same exact carseat. He's really growing up.

More 4th Pics

Woefully neglectful 4th of July photographer!

We went to Houston for the long 4th of July weekend and introduced Bennett to the wonders of James Coney Island. He acquired a "hot dog man" mask which turns him into a superhero, which he loves (and put on every time we got into the car during our stay). We had gone to Discovery Green, an awesome park/splash park in downtown Houston for the morning before we stopped into James Coney. These pictures were taken within 10 minutes of one another, so I think Bennett might have worn himself out. Other than these, I think Arty took a picture of Bennett playing tea party with McKenna and Natty and some of Bennett at the splash park, and that is all we have of the 4th weekend. Needless to say, we had a wonderful time visiting with everyone and Bennett LOVES spending time with his cousins and Houston family and friends. And these pictures show Bennett exactly 2 months before his 3rd birthday! He's definitely mama's big boy now!!

Handy Bennett

So, Bennett adores Handy Manny, which, until recently has been relegated to a love of Handy Manny on TV. However, upon a recent trip to SuperTarget in which Mommy was on a very long phone call, bought herself the new Sarah McLachlan CD and STILL needed to grocery shop on the other side of the store, Bennett was the lucky recipient of a talking Handy Manny doll that came with all Handy Manny's tools! And now Bennett can fix random objects just like Handy Manny!! Now, we find the tools doing all sorts of work around our house...I guess I should just count my blessings that he hasn't started trying to take the dogs apart yet.

No crib for a bed

we're out at concerts in the garden and our poor child's bed is his wagon. Oh well, jesus did it nd he turned out fine, right?
