No more booster chairs at the table?

We haven't discarded the boosters yet but sometimes Tamar and Daniel want to use the other chairs. As Daniel says, "I *big*!"

Things Benji Builds (tiny lego structures)

Lately, Benji has been making good use of a book given to him by Victoria's parents. This is a book with ideas about how to build things out of lego, but it gives ideas and guidelines instead of detailed instructions. Benji has been using the chapter that suggests building really tiny things, like miniature buildings, cars, and landscapes. In the picture below, he built a playground scaled down to the size of the mini-figure in the photo. You can see the slide and the monkey bars that the mini-fig is climbing along.

Taking a break from the pool (at the sand table)

The sand table . . .  Always a classic, and worth its weight in gold.

Portrait of Benji and Tamar

Swim goggles and water shoes

Tamar loves her "glasses" (as she calls them) and Daniel loves his "water shoes."

"Mommy I need oo!"

He tried to put on a new shirt but it got stuck on his "giant melon."

Wading Pool Time!

The kids have been spending a lot of time in the wading pool lately, with lots of splashing and fun. In the first and second photo, Tamar and Daniel are watching Benji play "bath-ketball," in which the player takes a shot while sliding down the slide into the pool. In the fourth photo, Benji and Daniel are riding the upside-down folded slide, which Benji named "the Happy Boat." And the observant viewer will notice that Benji's wetsuit is, indeed, inside out.
