Rub a Dub Dub, Three Boys In a Tub . . .

We had friends visiting DC from New Jersey.  Benji loves playing with their sons, Max (who is also 3) and Lucas (a little older).  Aaron took Benji over to visit at their hotel room and they gave all three boys a bath in the giant tub there.

Potty Adventures

Sometimes he sits backwards on the potty.  Sometimes he forgets to pull up his undies and pants while he's washing his hands.  Life is never dull.  Merry xmas!  --Victoria

Playing at the Park

A little earlier in the year, when it was a little warmer, of course.  --Victoria

Dancing with our Morris Team

 In early November, we had an end-of-the-season dance tour with our Morris dancing group.  Benji loved it even more than usual and decided that he was going to take part instead of just watching.  At first, he just danced on the side with me.  Then he decided that he would run through the middle of the set.  I only let him do this when it was safe, of course!  The second photo is one of my very favorites of all time.  --Victoria

School Open House at Breakfast

A few weeks ago, Benji's class had an open house during morning breakfast.  It was lots of fun to meet his friends and their parents, and to see his teachers in action.  In the first photo, Benji is sitting with Leo, one of his two best friends.  In the second photo, he's enjoying a muffin -- very much, apparently!  --Victoria

Hadfields Visit

A few weeks ago, Benji's grandparents Richard and Pauline Hadfield traveled from Oakville, Canada, down to Washington, DC.  We had a great visit and Benji loved spending time with them.  --Victoria

Another nap attack!

Dinner with Friends

With Xavi and "baby" Kai.  --Victoria

M&Ms

Aren't they supposed to "melt in your mouth, not in your hands"?  --Victoria
