Ben's New Do!

Some people say Ben and Kate look alike, some say they don't at all. Others say they look just like me, others say David. What do you think? Ben has big brown eyes, brown auburn hair and is skinny as a rail. Kate has big blue eyes, blonde hair and chubby little cheeks. One thing is for sure, they both have those red, rosey cheeks.

Ben got a new haircut today at the Pratts. He was soooooooooo proud of it, he wanted us to take some pictures when we got home. When he was done (gel and all) he asked everyone in the room if they wanted to feel his hair. Then David took him outside to jump on the trampoline while I was getting my stuff together and he told David he needed to go inside because his hair was getting blown. If you know Ben you know he NEVER wants to go inside. Diane asked him to do a front roll for her and he started to do it, but then worried about messing up his hair and asked her to fix it. On the way home he told me that my hair looked "awesome too." Thank heavens for moments like these in your day.

Ben has a new face. We think its pretty funny and he knows it. We finally captured it on film.

If you read the section, "Life according to Ben" you will know he is taking a tumbling class at the YMCA. Yes, David agreed to it, but made sure I knew Ben would not be advancing in gymnastics! We don't really need something stunting what growth he does have. I usually work out at the Y while he is in class, but I went to his class this last week. I was so proud of him, he is a natural! A definate pro at the bunny hop. He keeps his feet together and hops so well. Even the 6 year old had a hard time with it. The teacher used him several times to show the older kids how it was done. Then he got on the mock balance beam and put his little arms up to balance and walked all the way across at a pretty good pace and even jumped in the middle. David was happy to hear that the climbing wall is still his favorite part of class! I will have to work on taking some pictures to post.
