Two and a Half!

On October 23rd, our little monkey turned 2.5!  It really is hard to remember what our small family of three was like before Benjamin came on the scene.  Other than his sleep issues (which are better but still not close to what I'd call normal) he is really a very easy going, sensitive, active boy.  Right now he is really into rockets, dinosaurs and any kind of car or truck or train that moves with batteries.  He lines up all of his trains and puts the battery powered Thomas engine in front and watches it go around the kitchen, into the dining room and the living room.  When one of the trains falls off he yells..."oh, no Thomas!  You lost one of your friends" and then the process starts all over again. 
Oh, and how could I forget cutting.  He loves to cut.  He can spend up to 30 minutes in the play room cutting up paper and old coloring books.  Unfortunately, sometimes he finds Josie's over abundance of artwork and gets his scissors into that before I notice.   Now we have a large box of junk mail and catalogs that are labeled "Benjamin's Cutting Box."  


We didn't have cake on the 23rd but we put a candle in his mini pizza and he was thrilled.  He is a bit of a pyromaniac and LOVES candles, matches, anything to do with fire!  I think we relit this candle 6 times.  Then we ran out of matches.  Happy 2 and 1/2 to my sweet little Benjamin Fritz!
