Toddler Ben

Ben is a very energetic toddler, and he already seems like a big kid to me most of the time, except for the 2 to 3 hours I spend holding him or carrying him around every day. This picture shows the puzzle pieces that he LOVES. He loves them. He carries them around constantly and says "Matt, Matt," because there's a picture of toddler Matt on them.

When someone is crying, Ben says, "Awww, pat pat," and makes a sad face and a hand gesture like he's going to pat the crying person to make him feel better. Sam appreciates this most of the time, but Matt does not like to be consoled.

Ben rubs his eyes when he hears the word "sleepy." He enjoys flopping down on my head anytime I'm lying on the floor. He is very excited when Jeff gets home from work, and he's eager to head out the door to take Matt to school or go pick him up. He likes to sit in the big chairs instead of his high chair at every opportunity.
