Growing and Changing every second

The little dude is sliding swiftly into 2.

He has quickly learned that obstacles make bike riding more fun...

down

and up 

 and down again

until you look like this.

 

And Uncle Chris came over on Saturday with Colin's old climber.

 Sweet Ben scales it like a mountain goat.

 And loves the built in sand box mama put in today.

A lot.

He discovered mint oreo blizzards and will probably never eat a plain old cone again

The lounge chair and foot stool rule his after a hard day of  play world

He is mostly happy but fighting daily naps makes him cranky.

Today was perhaps his crankiest "I'm healthy but just a pain" day ever

He really seems "2" sadly enough.  With just a wee bit of the terrible creeping in...

He knows what he wants when he wants it and really doesn't want to take no for an answer.

Or wait a second sweety

Or let mama finish this

Or Uncle Matt has been working all day, let him eat first please

Or only after you brush your teeth

Or it is 90 degrees in the backyard you are not going out to play right now

Or any other you are not the centre of the universe statement

Though really?  

He is the centre of my universe.  

My universe is a much more interesting place because of Ben.
