Visiting Family

Aaron's cousin Mike and his wife Leah were in town for the holidays, and Benji got to meet their son (his second cousin) Cormac, for the first time. He said "baby!" and was very sweet and gentle with little Mac. Benji and Mike became good friends after playing with trains during brunch. --Victoria

Happiness is a Train Table

He enjoys playing with his trains so much that he had to climb onto the table with them... --Victoria

Sleepy Superhero

These are (in my opinion) the cutest of Benji's many cute sleepers. The logo says "Daddy's Little Sidekick" and the fabric is printed with a belt, boots, and cape. He's almost outgrown it, so I make him wear it as frequently as possible. --Victoria

Reading in the rocking chair

Benji climbed into the rocking chair himself, with a book. My parents will find this a familiar scene -- it's the same rocking chair they had when I was a child, and I once climbed into it with my little brother when I was only a year or two older than Benji is now. --Victoria

"If You're Happy and You Know It...."

A Ramp for Little Cars

Benji discovered a great ramp for his trains and little cars -- the printer. --Victoria

Benji Meets a Cello

Continuing the music theme... When I go to my dance practice on Wednesday nights, I always take Benji with me, and he loves watching the musicians play for the dancing. Last week, he tried out a button accordion, and recently, he got to see a cello for the first time. --Victoria

More Bananas

Benji loves bananas, which he calls "nanas" -- and this is one of the words he uses most frequently. --Victoria

Benji Loves the Piano

When we visit Susan and Yuri (Aaron's parents), Benji loves to play the piano. He also loves remote controls. And now, he combines the two loves, by playing the piano WITH a remote control. Also, he can now climb onto the piano bench all by himself! --Victoria
