Fixing Things…

October 7th, 2010. (2 years, 4 months old.) by ben

Daddy is always fixing things around the house.  Well!  I can fix things, too!

First, this keyboard needs to work.

And somehow, this door stop came apart and needs to be put back together.

That’s the great thing about fixing things: it’s always easy to break something if you need something to fix!

(Ed. Note: Yes, Ben did remove the hinge pin all by himself.  As always, you can click to magnify…)


Me and My Menagerie

September 25th, 2010. (2 years, 3 months old.) by ben

I thought it would be nice to introduce all my friends.  Everyone, please meet Hoppy, Froggy, Bunny, Tiny Froggy, Doggy, Kitty Cat, and Monkey.  Oh, and I have my favorite blankies, too.


Toy Bonanza!

September 12th, 2010. (2 years, 3 months old.) by ben

Found my way into Mommy’s secret closet last week.  So that’s where she’s been hiding all the toys!

(Ed. Note:  Uh Oh…)


Stephanie’s Birthday

June 7th, 2010. (2 years old.) by ben

Recently, we went to Mathias and Delia’s house for Stephanie’s birthday. I got to play with Chloe, and June taught me all about badminton.

Here I am, ready to receive serve.

The best part? Ice Cream Cake. Who knew such a thing existed?!


Fire Trucks!

May 14th, 2010. (23 months, 1 week old.) by ben

Auntie Marjorie & Uncle Jeff go me these super-cool fire truck jammies!

I am always very happy to wear them, and I remember to ask for them most nights when I’m getting ready for bed.  “Fire Trucks!”


Nachos. Mine!

May 5th, 2010. (23 months old.) by ben

Boy, there’s nothing better than an afternoon snack of cheesy chips.  As you can understand, I can be very protective of my tasty snack, especially with M&D reaching in to take some for themselves!

If Marilyn Monroe had a Vacuum…

May 2nd, 2010. (23 months old.) by ben

I don’t see what’s so funny about this – something about a ‘juxtaposition’, but my editor is insisting I post this.  Maybe one of my readers can explain it to me…

Organizational Skills

April 26th, 2010. (22 months, 3 weeks old.) by ben

Here I’m practicing my organizational skills.  I need to keep track of all my important dates (like my upcoming birthday!) on my calendar.

Thanks for my colorful birdie calendar, Grandma!


Watering Strawberries

April 18th, 2010. (22 months, 2 weeks old.) by ben

We had a sunny day recently and those strawberries were thirsty!  They needed water right away, and I was just the one to give it to them.

As you can see, I am very gentle when I water, and each strawberry plant gets individual attention.  I can’t afford to have any drop in strawberry production this year – they’re just too yummy!


Helping Mommy in the Kitchen

April 13th, 2010. (22 months, 1 week old.) by ben

When Mommy is working in the kitchen, I like to help.   I usually get to scoop flour between the mixing bowl and measuring cup, but today Daddy gave me a special task: lentils!  These little black beans are very tricky to keep track of, and they go everywhere if you spill them.  I’m getting pretty good at not spilling them now, but it took some practice.
