Two weeks ago on July 17th, my first born turned TWO! I can hardly believe my sweet Benjamin is a full blown toddler now and not my little baby. We had lots of fun celebrating his big day by going to the Thompson Park Zoo which he really enjoyed discovering the animals. We also had some friends over for a little party with a race car track cake I made for him, and a fun time was had by all!
Benjamin continues to be his goofy and sweet self. He loves the warm weather just like his mama and wakes up grabbing his shoes and running to the door all ready to go outside and play! His favorite toys are his Mega Blocks and play food (he's getting into pretend play now). He absolutely LOVES playing with water in any capacity and his favorite thing to watch on TV now is Sesame Street and Veggies Tales. But his favortite past time is killing flies with daddy! He has his own fly swatter and it is the cutest thing to watch him follow his daddy around the house chasing flies! He has his daddy's skills too - seriously, he is a "mini-Steve" in so many ways!
Benjamin continues to adore his little sister - most of the time! He needs some space away from her too though since Grace is always obsessed with her big brother and always wants to play with his toys and climb on top of him. They are two peas in a pod though! It is so sweet.
The summer has been good to us all (although Steve daily talks about how much he misses winter)! The days have been sweet and pleasant. It's been so good to enjoy and delight in the kids lately. We're in a good groove right now with life running smoothly and it's been a welcome change to the more challenging times we experienced during the winter. Our summer in NNY has been gorgeous, but I can't help to look forward to my favorite season of all - Autumn! I will enjoy the rest of this summer first though. ;)
So good to hear from you again! It's always fun hearing about your life in NY and watching the kiddies grow older and older :)
