The boy loves pancakes. We eat them at least once a week for dinner. We now need to make a double batch. This gives us a few leftovers that we freeze and then bring them out for breakfast at some point. Bennett was particularly messy on this occasion.
On Tuesday it snowed. (What? Isn't it just about spring?) At school they went out to play and his teacher sent me this picture. She said that right after she took the picture she threw it at one of the other teachers, who just happens to be her mom. So where's the fine line between "don't throw things at people" and "snowball fights are fun"?
After school Bennett helped Daddy finish shovel the driveway, but I think he had more fun playing in the giant pile of snow from the plow (we still have snow from the storm in early February) sliding down it, etc.
Wednesday was Grandma Tedford's birthday, so we Skyped to with her a Happy Birthday. I can't even begin to imitate how Bennett says "Happy Birthday" but it's pretty cute. A couple of his cousins were visiting Grandma and he suprised us by being able to recognize them. I guess looking at their pictures every day on the wall has paid off!
We stopped at the grocery store after school one day. While we were in the check out line one of the cashiers gave Bennett a sticker. She kiddingly told him to put it on his nose, so he did. :)
Since St. Patrick's Day was over the weekend, they've been celebrating it all week at school. On one day they received these rainbow headbands. We had it sitting on the table in the front hall, so Bennett grabbed it and put it on. (FYI- that's the expression that he makes when he says "cheese".)
On Friday he turned two and a half years old! It also is Alexander's birthday. On the way to school I had Daddy text Alexander's mom to wish him a Happy Birthday. Then Bennett heard us and started singing Happy Birthday. At first we thought he was just singing, but then he said Alexander's name at the end- right before he "blew" out the candles.
This weekend was spent at home, free of activities. To break things up a bit, I brought up this Vintage Fisher Price Little People House that had been in the basement. (We bought it at the church rummage sale when I was pregnant, so it's been sitting around for a bit now.) Bennett LOVED it! He pretty much played with it nonstop for 3 hours. The next day I tried putting it away since we didn't have a good place to put it. After his nap he started walking around the house asking about his "house".
We also had fun with fruit this weekend. This all started when Bennett gave me a bowl of fruit to eat. I thought it would be funny to just put my head in the bowl and have the fruit go everywhere. Well someone thought that was HILARIOUS, and then we had to play this game numerous times for the rest of the day.
We also got a new set of Duplos. It's a construction set and it has an axel that holds the scoop part of the front-end loader. When Bennett first saw it he started using the axel as a trumpet. When we put it to use as an axel, he looked all over saying, "where?" (Only he says this in a Boston accent that sounds like "way-a". Super cute!)
These next pictures are from Alexander's birthday party last weekend. I can just imagine Bennett thinking, "I have no idea what this Star Wars thing is, or what exactly a light saber is, but playing with the big kids is fun!"
