While Blake was moving the carseat in his mom’s car to the forward-facing position, Ben was being such a wiggleworm that I just couldn’t hold him anymore. So I fastened him in the car… and he looks just like he’s driving.

Ben meets — and attacks — his second counsin
At my counsin Jade’s 3rd birthday party a couple weeks ago, Ben got to come along to meet his second-counsin. My mom is holding Ben on the right and Jade is sitting in he babysitter (didn’t catch her name) on the left. Right after this photo was taken, Ben lunged at Jade, stuck his fingers in her mouth and made her cry. What a charming, well-mannered boy! Ben hasn’t had much interaction with other children… something we need to work on.
Ben and his balloon
Yesterday Ben accompanied Blake and I to a charity bowling tournament event for a great organization called LovExtension (they provide home visits to seniors who have 4 or less family visits a year). After the event, they let us take home a couple heart-shaped balloons for Ben. He loved them! And due his great mascotting at the event, my org New Vision for Independence won a 2nd place trophy!
Kids are like cats
Ben is a lot like a cat a lot of the time. They cry when they’re hungry. They cry when they need attention. They’re messy as hell. They get mad when you don’t clean up their toilet areas (diaper v. litter box) in a timely fashion. In this particular instance, he was following the Wii cursor on the screen like a cat would a laser pointer. Couldn’t help but video it. 🙂
Ben learning to walk
Blake’s parents bought Ben a push cart from IKEA. We bought him something like that a few months ago but he doesn’t like ours nearly as much as his new one.
Best. Ben. Photo. Ever.

Ben likes balls
Ben likes to play with balls – our living room is full of all different types and textures. So naturally when Blake custom-ordered stress balls for a website/service he created, we had to stick Ben in the box. He doesn’t mind. 🙂

Ben at Granny and Grandpappy-o Fishers’
With Blake back in school, Ben is back with Blake’s parents a few days a week (thank you!). Here are some photos of them together. The best one is of Ben helping Granny Lauren with laundry (which really means he picks something out of the laundry basket and shakes it about).
Big boy blocks
Yesterday Ben got a pack of foam squares to make blocks. We made a mess last night:
Trip to the park
Ben, Blake, and I went to Wooten Park in Tavares. Gotta say, Florida is disgustingly muggy and sticky in the summertime. Can’t wait to complain about how cold it is!
