Summer 'do

Apparently this is all the rage with the 5 year old boys....




















Lanny has been Ben's barber for a while now, so yes, that is a kid's cape!

I like the cut much better than I thought I would, but I was really sad to see all that blonde hair gone!

Family Circus Volume 3

Ben:

Ben is busy playing t-ball and nearing the end of Pre-K! Lately, he has been entertaining us with his stories and comments. Here are a few recent ones:

Ben (after school one day): Maddie, the other Maddie, and Sydney are in love with me.
Me: Oh really! How do you know that?
Ben: They told me.
Me: Hmm. What does that mean that they are in love with you? Does that mean that you are really good friends?
Ben: No, Mom!! (like, duh!) It means that they are in love with me. Like, when you and Daddy got to be married, you got to be in love.
Me: Oh, okay! Well, did you know I'm still in love with your daddy?
Ben: (kind of embarrassed)
Then, Ben: But, I'm not in love with them....

Then, the other day, Ben was telling me that sometimes he wished that he could stay up and go to bed when his daddy and me went to bed. I asked him if he thought it was because we did fun things after he went to bed. He said that he wanted to talk to us, that it was like we were having 'secret conversations.'

Then, today, he was a little bit upset that we got to have Mother's Day, then we get to celebrate Father's Day, then my birthday, then Daddy's birthday. How come Mommy and Daddy get to have 2 celebrations?!? He was really sweet today, though, telling me that he liked my dress, told me happy mother's day several times, and was excited to give me my present.




















Lindley:

She is becoming more and more of a conversationalist. She constantly "meeds" something. She has also been making sure that I know how to say stuff. Like yesterday, we were talking about her Batman bandaid. She asks me, "Can you say 'Batman'?" So, I say "Yes, Batman." She says, "Good job, Mommy!"

And, she continues to delight us with her singing and dancing! It seems like I'm always posting videos of her singing...because that's all she does!!

Brandt:

He is growing like a little weed! He is not crawling yet, but I don't think he is too far off. He still loves his mommy and loves to be held....all the time! He has two bottom teeth, and is about to turn 9 months old!! Time is just flying by!
