Has grown into this kind, smart, and thoughtful little boy...
For Ben's birthday, we celebrated with family the weekend before the actual "big day." Ben loved his dinosaur cake - in fact, I would not be exaggerating when I say he was enamored by it. That was exactly what I was going for! He selected his piece to be the top of the volcano - a natural choice!
We celebrated at home on his actual birthday. Ben was quite surprised to get a Lego table that Brant made for him. Brant has admitted that it was more of a project than he first anticipated when we started building it two days in advance. However, after a little elbow grease and tender loving care, Ben loved it and the table has gotten lots of use since.
The weekend after Ben's birthday he had his first birthday party with a friend. Brant took Ben and his best friend, Maddox, to Cherry Berry for frozen yogurt with the toppings of their choice. Apparently both boys picked gummy bears and chocolate rocks, which we all agreed was a delightful combination. They then returned home to do a dinosaur pinata and just play together. They are quite the pair! We are very happy Ben has found such a great friend!
And of course, through all of it, Abby insisted that her birthday is also coming up. We keep reminding her it in October, but that darn calendar is such an abstract concept at 2 years old! Oh well... I guess she'll really be looking forward to turning 3 in seven long months... and we will all know exactly what she wants!
