all boy...well not quite

You can be such a boy.

Take today for example, while you and I were out enjoying the nice weather we sat at a small cafe and had a snack while you watched construction workers for about an hour and still didn't want to leave. You held tight to your Thomas the train and pointed out every time the digger started moving again. I enjoyed seeing you study the big machines and get excited when new big trucks pulled up to the site.


Another thing you do that I attribute to boy behavior is informing me every time you toot and giggling about it. I can't help but giggle back.

Yes this is you dressed up in Eve's new dress. You were very adamant about wanting to put one on and gladly helped put on this pretty outfit. You happily danced around the living room to "The Little Mermaid" soundtrack with your sister. She was ecstatic that you were participating.

One of our neighbors walked by while you were wearing this fancy dress and even referred to you as a girl. It wasn't until she walked back into the building that she did a double take and asked if you were Ben. It was all pretty entertaining.


You'll be taking your first real train ride this weekend to visit your good buddy and hopefully it all goes smoothly, but I can't imagine you would be unhappy on a real choo-choo train.

Talking, talking, talking!

Baby Ben is really no longer a baby! He is now a little boy! I hear you talking away when I am on the phone with your momma. Sometimes, I even hear you say Grama! When I visited you over Christmas, you were such a happy boy. You are always smiling and showing off those big dimples. You also just love looking at pictures on the computer. I think you could do it for hours! You want to do everything your big sis does. Whether it is jumping on the bed, running, eating or dancing! Just you and I went for walks and even ventured to the Botanic Garden to see the train display! It was a special time for me and you and I will never forget it! Get ready because I am coming out for another visit in less than a month. I am sure we will go for lots of walks and to the park! Can't wait! See you soon! Love, Grama
