Ben... a quick update on our smartypants

Ben turned 3 in November and is REALLY liking being a big brother to Tommy. He loves to play with him and show him what to do...now that Tommy has started imitating him it just gets better and better! It is crazy how much Ben has grown- and what a little boy he is! He loves any type of sport...more so if Jonny and Cody play (Jonny=uncle and Cody is a friend) Currently he enjoys Jonny-Basketball and Jonny-Football. (Its just not a sport unless its named after someone!) His imagination is wild as well! For a while we have played that he is Jonny, Mommy is Grandma and Daddy is Grandpa...lately though he has expanded his play to Mommy is Becky, Daddy is Joe and he is Kiria (their dog...) He will also pretend to be any dog...typically his name is Sparky (we didn't give him that name). His "dog" persona is so funny because he needs to play catch and will lick you and has the need to eat on the floor. (WE DO NOT ALLOW him to eat on the floor...PRETEND :-) He also enjoys spending time with his imaginary friend "Alex" Don't get too worried- he knows that Mommy and Daddy can't see Alex..but 'they' play "a-nastics" together (lay out the blankets...do summersaults....its pretty cute! Ben has also started to really enjoy doing schoolwork and learning to read- we are working on fun worksheets and tracing his name...he does pretty good!! as for the reading- he has a couple favorite books that he "reads" We are pretty proud of him :-) Enjoy the pictures!!!
