Today Benson is 21 months old. He is becoming a little boy. We
turned his carseat around today even though I really would have
preferred to keep him rear facing for longer, but our mirror in the back
broke. I couldn't see him and if anyone knows me, they know I cannot
handle not being able to see him. I have anxiety about his safety (this
also the reason I LOVE our video monitor). We also got his haircut
today. He looks SO grown up!
Ben
got a bit sick in the middle of work today so he was actually home
during the day and
Benson got to spend some time with him. This is such a rarity lately,
so
Benson LOVES any time he can spend with his daddy. (Ben is working full
time, student teaching full time and taking two classes at UVU. He
leaves the house at 6:30 AM and gets home at about 10 PM. Saturdays he
leaves about 8 am and gets home around 8 pm. It is rough and we miss
him, but are so grateful for his hard work)
These are a few of the hilarious facial expressions he makes. This kid has quite the personality!
Um, when did my baby become a little boy?
We
go play at the park almost every day. Benson is starting to love the
swing, which is totally new. He used to want to get off after just a
few minutes, now he could stay on there for an hour with no problem.
He also loves slides, climbing up them and sliding down them. His only
problem with the park is other kids. He is terrified of children he
doesn't know. As soon as someone walks anywhere in his direction he
screams and runs towards me, even if he is at the top of the slide.
It's a bit scary for me since he would jump off that top of a slide
rather than be confronted with a scary child :)
Love this boy!
