Dinnertime conversation

Let me know if you need further translation :)

What Benjamin thinks the baby will look like

We were reading a book that had a picture of an eye on one page. Benjamin pointed to it and said, "Mama's eye!" I told him that it couldn't be my eye since the eye was blue and my eyes are green. We started talking about different eye colors; how Christopher's and Daddy's eyes are blue and how Benjamin's and Mama's eyes are green. I then asked him, "What color eyes will the new baby have?" He shrugged, then said, "Baby have elephant ears!" Oh, how I love this age!

The joys of being mobile

Now all we have to do is keep an eye on him 24 hours of the day.

Benjamin's 2-year stats

Weight: 26 lbs. - 25th percentile

Height: 36.25 inches - 90-95th percentile

Head: 20 inches - 90-95th percentile

(In other words, he is a living bobble-head doll! I think he is the cutest!)

His current favorites are bugs, trucks or trains or cars, his dog costume, Elmo, books, football and basketball, bathtime, balloons, and anything he does with Daddy :)

Right now, he is eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, yelling, "Sawah! Sawah!" to get me to turn around and say "What?" He figured out my name a few weeks ago and when he is very insistent that I listen he will use my first name. The funniest instance of this was when he was supposed to be sleeping one night (even after I had gone to bed) Bram heard him yelling, "Sawah! Sawah!" Bram went in and found him standing in his crib, completely naked, smiling and laughing. Oh, this is truly my child :)

He is a joy to be around. I can't believe he is already 2-years-old!

As he would say, "Oh Happy Day, Benanin!" (That is, "Happy Birthday, Benjamin!")
