Big Kids

After Toy Story, every meal looked like this:

Ben is in a big boy bed! We were so freaked out. Taking down the crib (and net tent) was a sad day (no more babies), but also very exciting. Ben was so proud of his bed and he stayed in it all night. In the morning, he came out of his room with his chest all puffed up. Since he doesn't nap during the day anymore, he's just too exhausted at night to get up for any burrito business. He's getting so big and he hates when I tell him he'll always be my baby. "I NOT A BABY, MAMA! I A BEN!"

Also, the kids love the extra space in Ben's room and play in there a lot. We got rid of some toys they don't play with anymore & they spend more time playing with one thing at a time. Right now, Ben's favorites are puzzles, legos and cars. Lily's favorite things are Barbies, dress up and books about kindergarten.
