Here we are: almost all the way through Bennett's 23 month! This weekend he will turn TWO! We can tell Bennett is becoming a big boy:
He is saying more words, phrases and sentences everyday. Some of his favorites are: "Stop it!", "I don't want to!", "I did it myself!",
He is becoming very independent. Bennett likes to do most things by himself - especially when he sees his big brother master a task! Along with his gaining independence comes a stubborn boy with a quick temper! We are still learning how to help Bennett express himself and keep calm before "the point of no return"! As you can see in this photo, he has a lovely fashion sense! He was determined to wear this to church last Sunday. I was a little scared...not willing to "rock the boat" when the morning was going well, I actually considered letting him wear this to church. Yikes...luckily, he willingly put on some different pants before we left. Whew!
On the other side of Bennett's temper is a sweet boy who loves to cuddle. He is so snuggly when he wants some love. We cherish those sweet moments with Bennett! He and Logan also love each other so much and love to spend time playing trains, cars, airplanes, and running around together. Now that its summer, they love to play in the sand and water together! Its going to be a great season for us! Bennett is getting big, so he isn't easily pushed around by Logan anymore...he will push back! The boys are now truly becoming brothers, not just siblings that coexist anymore.
Everyday with Bennett is a joy! He is a blessing to our family and our lives. Can't believe he is now two...I'm hoping that "terrible" won't be attached to this year (I'm banking on already being there!).
