Full Day

Today was a good, full day.  This morning I was greeted by our sweet little boy knocking on our bedroom door.  Yes, the sweet little boy who was told to stay in bed until Mommy came to get him in the morning!  Ha :-)  I watched him on the monitor when he woke up around 7:15.  He rolled over, played with his animals, read a few books I had placed on his bed, then climbed out, opened his door and came across the hall to come see his Mommy.  I made him get back in bed, I went to the bathroom, then I came back to get him.  He fought naptime a little bit today but settled down after being told twice to stay in bed.  Tonight he didn't get out of bed, he just takes a lot longer to fall asleep because he has so much extra space to roll in, play in, and explore.  I'm still undecided whether as to whether or not he'll stay in his new big boy bed, but for now he's doing pretty good.  It just makes me sad to see him in such a big bed.  Where is my BABY?!??!  Even Peter was a bit emotional sneaking into his room before we went to bed last night.  It just all happens so fast and sometimes I just want my little baby Benjamin back.  Mostly I just feel blessed to have such an amazing, growing little boy and blessed that I get to be his mommy.

Here is a picture of him sleeping in his big boy bed...his head should be the other way :-)  I'll get a better picture when his new room is all set up.

I had a dr. appt this morning and everything is going well.  I'm going to have an ultrasound on Thursday just to check the little guy's size and make sure he's still growing on track.  After lunch Kristen came over so we could plan out the events for our EPIC girls group.  Then I taught a piano lesson, and went to pick up one of the high school gals from our group so she could come over for dinner and make some lemon bars and pasta salad for our small group tomorrow night.

I took her home, we got Benjamin to bed, now we're relaxing and watching Courageous.  I had to share this funny picture though.  Peter thought it was a bit cold in our house tonight despite the fact that the fireplace is on (granted, it has been raining buckets today with lots of wind!) but still, it wasn't really that cold.  But after he went upstairs to get some pj's on, he came down looking like this....

yep, he's a dork.  But he's my dork and I love him!
