Update on the boys


Here are the two lovebirds. They'd much rather play with each other than me most days. Poor little Ben needs some playmates his own age though. He's still napping for 2 hours in the morning so it's hard to sign him up for activities but I wake him, much to his chagrin, one morning a week to go to Music Together. He hates me at first but once we get there he gets animated and happy. He loves his music. Ben takes after Cal in being a charmer and social butterfly. Last week, he crawled into the mommy's lap next to me and proceeded to give her hugs...repeatedly. Then towards the end we were doing a song where we had to lay down on the floor. Ben decided to crawl clear across the room to go lay his head down next to another mommy's. And then when we sat up he stayed with her to lavish her with hugs and attention. After class the teacher, who noticed this, asked me if Ben knew the other woman and I said, "Absolutely not!". haha...
Although he hasn't added too many new words to his repertoire, he's babbling and "singing" more and will actually try to repeat words that I say. He's standing firm on his refusal to walk. We've noticed him standing on his own a little bit more this past week but haven't been pushing him any further since this just usually leads to giggling and lunges.
Cal's the same as always. Oh except that "he's 3 now" you know and this means "I can do everything all by myself". It's very funny. I'm hoping to have some new preschool pictures soon!
