Benjamin

Ben is being the booger he always is. He's our wild child and completely all boy! We were trying to potty train him since he is definitely ready, but we've just been so busy and haven't been home long enough to train him properly, so we are just waiting for some time off work to put him on potty training boot camp time! Next week Mark or I are suppose to get laid off for the week, so that is when one of us plans on training him. Boy will it be nice to only have one in diapers. It would be even better to have none in diapers, lol! Oh those days are coming and I can't wait!!!!! Ben is talking a lot more. Some of his sayings are "Right here" when asked "Where's Ben?" and "Ricky get up!!" when getting Ricky up for school, "Peekle" for "Pickle", "I'm wet" as in change my diaper now! and that's all I can think of for now. Oh and he says "I don't like it" when he has to eat something he doesn't like. He learned how to ride his bike too. With training wheels of course. I had him ride his bike up to the bus stop to get Markie and Ricky and he did pretty good, of course it took us forever to get up there, but he had fun and that's what really matters! Here's some recent pics:
Here is Ben sitting in a bin, playing in Markie and Charlotte's room:

Here is a dirty face Ben (as usual) look a little chinese in this picture with Markie's tights on his head, don't ask me why, lol.:Put 'em up buster! Ben loves to play with dad's power drill. I think he's going to take after daddy!:

Here he's playing in a rusty old wagon that Mark took apart so he can make a newer one. Ben was helping daddy with the building process:And here is the finished product. Pretty good, huh? Of course Ben had to try it out and he likes it!
