Mommy and Ben day

Today Ben and I got to spend the whole day together-just the two of us! We haven't gotten to do this in a long time because the "big boys" were on summer vacation so even on the day each week that I don't have my niece, we still had the big boys to take care of too. Ben LOVED all of the Mommy time, and I loved all of the Ben time even more! He is growing and changing so fast! I can literally see him learning something new every day. Since we had the whole day today, we headed to the Children's Museum and spent most of the day in Playscapes, which is an area for preschoolers only. We had soooo much fun! Hope you enjoy the pics!

Ben's favorite part, as always, was the water table. The hand dryer he got to use after playing in the water might have been a very close second favorite because he spent a looong time drying his hands and repeatedly pushing the button to start the dryer again.

This is the first time I've seen him try to actually WALK up the steps. Here he always crawls. I hope he sticks to crawling here because the walking was SCARY for Mommy to watch!

Smelling the flowers he "picked" from the garden.

This look means trouble every time! As soon as I snapped the picture, he sent the block tower tumbling. I love his expressive face!
