Ben at 2 and 3/4ths! A journal entry.

Dear Bookie,

I have so many cute notes to transfer to this journal entry and I want to do it quickly before you hit your 3rd birthday! You are such a joy, a complete love and I want to remember every moment of this precious journey as your mommy... so here goes!

First, a pictorial journal entry of Ben at 2 and 3/4ths:

You are big into big adventures and trying new things... especially if we see Curious George do it on PBS :) Here you are trying out your new snorkel gear in the tub!

I was surprised at how good you were at it... too cute!
Dress up and role playing is big with your newest persona being Buzz Lightyear (your choice when allowed to pick a souvenir at Disney World). You'd keep this on all the time if we'd let you. Darn preschool and it's uniform rules :)

You are such a little smarty pants... you're really enjoying our learning time at home and preschool. I was surprised when you presented me with a doodle that you claimed was the number 2. I didn't expect it to actually look like it, great job my little Einstein!
Almost all our pictures lately, in which I ask you to smile, result it a huge, eye squinting, cheesy grin! But sometimes I catch a more innocent happy expression.

Here's that cheesy grin I love!

We absolutely love seeing the world through your eyes. Daddy and I watched you more then anything else on our recent Disney trip.

Your determination and focus are peeking as you put your mind towards more difficult and detailed tasks. Building Lego cars with daddy was a favorite activity at the Lego store in Downtown Disney.
You love new physical challenges too and are becoming quite the athlete!
You still love art projects, especially when Mommy gives you the freedom to be "extra" creative :)

With all your big boy grown up moves... we're so glad you still a big cuddler!!!
More to follow... I just wanted to get a few pictures in first.

love,

Mommy
