With much encouragement Ben is getting a little better each day at tidying up his own mess…… much to my delight!
Ben was in the trolley while I was shopping. On this occasion he took off his shoes. He proceeded to put his socks on his hands and pretend his was a motorbike rider. I had an elderly lady ask me what he was doing and if the socks were puppets. I informed her that no they were not puppets but motorbike gloves. She thought this was quite funny. That night Ben once again put on his sock (on his hands) and rode his trike around the house. Andrew thought he would give Ben’s bike ago. Like Father, Like Son – it kept me amused!!
Ben loves to dress up. Here is my gorgeous fireman!
Once again I have to thank our wonderful neighbours the Durrington Family. Charlotte comes to play with Ben at least a couple of times a week and I enjoy having a cuppa with Di and Dave. It makes for a relaxed afternoon. Ryan and Finlay will come over for a chat but playing with a two year old…… nah that’s not cool. We now have a hole in the fence so it is easy to move between the houses.
Here are some pics from a couple of weeks ago when Ben and Charlotte played racing cars. This car is fabulous. It was bought for Tom’s first birthday. Tom turns seven this year! Ben loves it and plays in it most days. Ben is having the time of his life….. just look at the face. I’m sure Charlotte is having a pretty great time as well. Oh and you gotta love the helmet!! If only their excitement could be bottled!!!
How do children know who there extended family are? It must be innate or maybe they sense a feeling of belonging. Ben is pretty reserved around people he doesn’t know or see often. But not this weekend as I watched him play and interact with his Cousins, Aunts and Uncles, and Grandparents. Ben just adored having his cousins Tom and Maggie stay on the weekend. It was magic to watch them play together. Andrew and I just loved the house being full with family.
Our house was a pit stop on the way to a very special event. All that could make it were heading to Cousin Hugo’s first birthday. It was wonderful to be able to share in Al, Claire and Hugo’s special day. We enjoyed catching up with family and friends new and old. Ben certainly enjoyed the party. He ate the entire bowl of cheezels by himself! Hugo was an absolute delight and had enough cuddles to go around for everyone. Happy Birthday Little Man – we hope to celebrate many more with you. xoxox
We send you this special message from Kingscliff………..
Love Uncle Andrew, Aunty B and Ben xoxo
