Ben. My sweet boy. I'll admit he's a bit of a momma's boy (and Mimi's boy too, for that matter). And I'll also admit that I don't mind. He's completely stubborn and strong-willed and everything is on his terms. He reckless and busy and doesn't listen to reason. He has absolutely humbled us as parents. We are continuously learning how to deal with and discipline such a strong-willed little guy. Unlike Avery he doesn't enjoy playing alone. He loves to have someone play with him i.e. sit in his room and watch him play (don't actually mess with his stuff). He loves playing with his sister. The overwhelming majority of the time they get along great.
He thrives on routine and gets very bent out of shape when something is out of the ordinary.
He can be very shy in situations outside of his comfort zone. On the other hand he can be very bold and outgoing at times. It's all on his terms and dependent upon his mood.
He can be very sweet and affectionate but sometimes he only has time for you to kiss his head.
He definitely has a knack for driving and/or riding anything with wheels. He started riding his bike on the very first try.
He starts pre-k in August and I am excited to see how he does.
We got him a loft bed for his birthday. It was definitely time to upgrade him from the converted crib and the loft bed gives us some much-needed space.
On his birthday we went to see Finding Dory and to get a turkey sandwich (his choice).
Unfortunately, he didn't like the turkey as it wasn't "fresh" (I suppose he didn't appreciate the toasted sandwich).
We did a few fireworks after we got home, which he loved.
Happy year 4, buddy.
