Now a little boy...

Ben turns 18mos. old tomorrow, hard to believe. We are so fortunate to get to spend everyday with him. Ben is up to a lot these days: climbing and wanting "up," looking at you very seriously and saying "I know," clanking wine glass and bottle saying "ting," always saying "no," he now calls all six(?) stuffed animals by name and still "an-mal," when upset moaning "no way," getting more molars :(, giving kisses (my absolute favorite), always drinking the bath water, sitting through a whole book and sometimes twice--his newest fav is My Dad is Awesome, a Father's Day gift for Drew, and daily making Drew and I look at one another and just smile.

Side story...yesterday I ran Greenlake while Drew and Ben went to the playground. As I walked up to the playground to find them, this is what I found. A mom spinning the merry go round with her little girl on it and Drew sitting on it and Ben in his lap. One of those moments I won't forget.
