B-log: 2 years and some time

I'm done with counting in months. DONE I tell ya! Some people just keep on doin' it, but I have waited and waited for this day to arrive. It's HAPPENING!!!

Yay!

So, from now on you will just have to do your own math when it comes to how many months old Bennett is.

Back to the B-log:

* Bennett is TWO years old now!! Did you hear?

* Bennett is no longer considered a toddler according to Babycenter.com which I know you all read on a daily basis. He is considered a "Preschooler". I don't get that. What is that? He's only TWO. I'm just gonna call him a kid. Is that ok?




* I just need to interrupt your regularly scheduled B-log to say - Thank GAWD its FRIDAY!!! Yay!!!

* All of a sudden Mr. B is saying the correct words for things. He had such cute little incorrect sayings like "Dadoh" for Logan and "mu-mee" for Music, but now he's saying the correct words! That really makes me wanna cry a little. It's sad that I don't hear "bye Dadoh" in the mornings anymore!



*Although the one word he is having trouble with right now is "hitch". When we went camping and floating the Yellowstone River last weekend he noticed the hitches on the back of all the trucks. Now he points them out on his tractor but says "hutch". When I correct him he repeats "hitch! Yeah! I see it!" in such an excited way.




* The terrible twos are in full force this week. I think they started a long time ago, then chilled out for a bit, but now are back. He's pretty grumpy when we come straight home from daycare and start making dinner without any plans for anything fun or exciting that evening. SO he whines and acts up and annoys his Mama and Dada. I guess its just his way of saying "why are you two so boring and predictable!! Lets walk down to the railroad station and watch trains go by for 4 hours! Forget about supper!"




* He loves floating rivers and fishing and camping and playing in the sand and dirt...


* He loves to sing songs, dance and be silly with his friends



* He had some serious fun with Nona, Grandpa, GranJan and Aunt E Precious (which he can say now!)

If I Had A Hammer...

Bennett is quite the helper these days. He wants to do everything himself, of course. And that includes working the power tools...








Here's our new deck, by the way! Thanks to Rory and Grandpa!!
