Benjamin Solo

The day Josie went back to school Benjamin and I went and spent most of the afternoon at the Pacific Science Center.  He even got to hold a Brazilian Beetle. 

 We spent some time trying stuff out at the gift shop.  This picture cracks me up. They are glasses with a cup and a ball on a string attached and you are supposed to move your head and neck and try to get the ball to go inside the cup.  Watching him do this was simply hysterical.  He was almost always cross eyed and smiling.  Too funny.

 This summer, although fun-filled, was a tough one for Benjamin.  I think he struggled with having to share the time I normally have for just him with his sister who was obviously also home for the summer.  It was an amazing transformation just about a week after Josie had been back in school and suddenly sweet, lovable Benjamin was back.  Thank God!!  His behavior was getting to the point where I was about ready to ship him off to boarding school!
So in addition to Pacific Science Center and the art studio we also spent a lot of time building structures with all of our different building materials.

 And going to parks.

 And building, building building some more.

 It is so nice to have my sweet boy back!!
