We had a few other birthday surprises up our sleeves for Benji -- for his birthday we got him a bow and arrow set which he LOVES. So much so, in fact, that he insists we all call him Robin Hood now.
He spends ages outside shooting now and has gotten quite good.
For a preschool outing, we took the kids to see Fancy Nancy the Musical. The kids were in heaven. We had front row seats and the play was actually pretty cute.
Benji was a little upset that his crush, Brooklyn, didn't want to sit next to him. They are quite the item at preschool -- one of the moms even told me she caught them kissing during storytime one day! That kid!
We've never really read the books, but I took Peter out of school to come with us and during the performance, one of the cast members reached out to shake his hand - he was beyond excited about that.
The crazy bunch after the show (that's Brooklyn standing next to Benji). I can't believe this year is almost done and that Benji will be heading to actual preschool at Birdsnest in the fall. He is so grown up and changing so fast every day.
Benji has the best imagination and is constantly pretending to be someone or something (a dog, a ninja, Scar, Robin Hood, a wolf, etc.). He loves books and he even asked me to start teaching him to read this past week, so we pulled out this trusty book for 'reading practice.' We love our little man -- he is our most emotionally invested child -- life is either the best or the absolute worst and we've learned that lots of hugs and snuggles help keep him feeling loved. We can't wait to see what he'll learn and do this coming year!
