"Everywhere in nature we are taught the lessons of patience and waiting. We want things a long time before we get them, and the fact that we want them a long time makes them all the more precious when they come." -Joseph Smith

Ben Jam's almost 2!

We have a birthday boy coming up in a couple weeks! So excited!
Here are some things about Benners:

- He loves singing songs. The Wheels on the Bus and Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree.
- He loves bath time. Loves it!
- He is SO VERY ticklish! I think even his teeth are ticklish.
- He is very social. He is never afraid of people and often wants strangers to hold him.
- He loves his "babies." A little bear he's had since he was a baby and a frog Granny gave him at placement.
- Loves giving hugs and kisses!
- He's getting really playful. Sometimes he gets so wound up - especially with my mom. It's so cute to watch him be so intense with playing!
- He loves copying Aria. If she screams, he screams and then they both get running around screaming (for fun, not mad) and it's so funny! Drew and I just laugh!
- He calls himself Aria. If he sees a photo of himself or looks in the mirror he yells "Ayaya!"
- He says I love you so cute! Sounds like "Aye You!"
- He loves giggling. If he hears anyone laughing, he immediately joins in.
- He loves being outside. The days that are too cold are so hard for him. The only good thing about a mild winter (in my opinion) is that the kids have been able to play outside a lot!
- He weighs 31 lbs
- He's learning so much! We are working with Kids On The Move and he's doing so well!
- He sleeps through the night like a champ every night!
- He babbles a lot. He can say a lot of understandable words, but mostly babbles. A LOT of it!
- He loves animals. Mostly from a distance.
- He is such a mamma's boy. He is usually found about 2" from me at any given time.
- He loves playing with Daddy. He gets so excited when Daddy gets home from work! He's really good and playing with Benny Boy all the time!
