Things Benji Says (where babies come from)

When Benji looks at photographs of our wedding, he usually asks if he was there and I explain that he hadn't been born yet.  Then he asks, "but where was I?" and I answer that he was not in the world yet, he was just in our hearts.  Which leads to today's story...

A few days ago, Benji explained to me where babies come from:

"The baby is in your heart, then it crawls [with emphasis on crawl and a demo on the sidewalk] from your heart down to your belly.  Then it grows and it's born and it grows into a boy.  Or a girl."


Hmmm...  I didn't realize that I had solved this classic parental dilemma so neatly.  For now.

Mommy has a new camera!

A combined gift for Mother's Day and my birthday, from Aaron -- along with a camera bag and a class about how to use this fancy new camera.  Hopefully the quality of the photos will be much higher from now on!  --Victoria

Big Boy Legos!

He loves playing with these.  Sometimes he follows the instructions and makes the suggested items.  Sometimes he just makes something up from his own mind.  --Victoria

Playdate with Evan

Evan is one of Benji's friends from school.  I picked up both boys after school one day last week, and they had a wonderful time playing at the sand table.  They played really nicely together.  After dinner at our house, we walked Evan home.  It was a fine evening.  --Victoria
