Benjamin is a big boy

Just to let everyone know that Benjamin is not using his binkie anymore. He really loved it and he had a hard time letting it go. He actually still sometimes asks for it when he goes to bed. I just remind him that he is a big boy and they are all gone. He probably doesn't understand because Sam has a binkie. It was really funny when he went to bed tonight. He wanted to give Sam a kiss but he had a binkie in his mouth. Benjamin pulled the binkie out of Sams mouth and kissed him on his lips and then gave him his binkie back. Benjamin also likes to put his finger in Sams binkie and let Sam bite his finger. He uses the ones from the hospital that has a whole in the center. Sam really likes you to put your finger in the whole to help him keep it in. Now our next task is to get Benjamin potty trained. Our doctor told us that most boys are potty trained at around 2.5 or 3. So we have a month before Ben turned 2 and a half. It is hard to believe that he is that old. He also did a load of laundry today. He put all of the clothes that were on the ground and put it into the washer and I put the soap in and started it. He has become a really big helper, and I think it helps that I give him change to put into his piggy bank for helping. He has also been caught trying to take money out of Grandmas wallet and mommy's wallet for change for his piggy bank.

How funny that he helped with the wash. How funny. He is such a cute big brother. Good luck with potty training. I think that once he gets the hang of it he will love it. Plus you will save money and it will be easier on you.

Love you guys
