Benjamin is growing and learning more each day. He starting to talk a lot more than he had even a few weeks ago. My favorite thing he says is after he sneezes. He sneezes, I say "God Bless You!" he responds "Church!" Makes me giggle each time. That he connects "God bless you" with church is just to darn cute.
Another connection he made this week was while we were getting ready to mow the grass for the first time this spring. I had to go buy gas. Of course, he needed to help all along the way. We got home filled up the lawnmower with gas and he questioned "Gas?" Then he ran to get his mower and proudly said, "BUBBLES!" After we were done mowing, he went inside and told Mamma what we had done. He said, Dadda...gas, Me...bubbles! Too cute.
Alex has been asking for glasses the last few weeks. I'm not sure if it's because I got new ones or because he sees a few other kids in his class wear them. I popped the lens out of a very old pair of mine and he was so happy to have glasses. He carried them around in a case and wouldn't put them down. He wanted to wear them to school, but I wouldn't let him. Of course, he started wearing them on Sunday and by Monday afternoon...they were broken! Glad he doesn't need glasses yet.
Benjamin and I shared a few cookies last week. It was Teacher Appreciation week, so we had baked cookies for the teachers and had a few left. Two to be exact. He quickly stole both of them and ate one in a bite and shared the other with his friend. Luckily, I knew the friend wouldn't eat it, so Daddy did get a treat.
