Ben's Year Book

Ben got his first year book today at school. The kindergarteners dont really know what to do with them, or what they're all about. Great quote from Ben as he was looking through it with his buddy Collin today:

Collin, we are now famous. Everyone looks at this book.

Bennett's Birthday Weekend

As usual, the birthday celebration is spanning over a couple days.

Friday - combined preschool graduation with his upcoming bday, brought cupcakes to the "promotion ceremony".

Saturday (actual bday) - went to swim lesson buddy Zoe's bday party down at Poinsettia Park. Jumpy, badminton, horseshoes, pizza, cake. Presents, Bapa Cliff / Gma Nancy came down to visit, more presents, then we all went to Sammys Pizza, recently reopened after their fire.

Sunday - party at the house. "Water fight" theme - water balloons, squirter guns, cake, repeat.

The Nerd of Naw-Naws

Background: Ben has forever loved "tags". Yes, tags usually that are on a shirt, or pants, pajamas, etc. The silky smooth ones are his favs - rubs them with his fingers and on his face as he does his reverse 2-finger suck. The name "naw-naw" comes from the sound he used to make when sucking his fingers and playing with the tag. Since his tongue is behind the fingers in his mouth, whatever noise he's trying to make just comes out as naw-naw-naw...

With his 5th bday in a couple days, I was asking him again when he's going to give it up. After some discussion,

Ben declared he is the "Nerd of Naw-Naws" ...

...and that he will never give them up.
