Ben's accomplished a lot the past two months:

- learned to start riding his pedal bike by himself
- get dressed by himself (only with the proper motivation, usually 15 minutes of Curious George)
- helped Daddy make pizza
- went camping with Mommy (twice) - and loved exploring the creeks, and cried when we had to take down the tent
- put batteries in his own flashlight
- open beers for Daddy
- ignores the word No unless he says it
- climbs up onto the stool at parties, helps himself to chips & guacamole
- says "Holy Guacamole" - a line from a book he has
- gives Alex the most vigorous wake-up greeting ever, which involves yelling "Alex!" running into the room, and throwing all the blankets and pillows into Alex's crib before jumping in himself (while Alex is still inside)
- told Fiona "I'm your best friend when I with you, when I not with you, you not my best friend"
- split his lip open twice in the same day
- has great cuddles with Mommy and Daddy at book time
