My Big Helper

I put Ben's new bed together last night. The instructions said that the assembly require two people, so Ben was the second person. He was a big help. He put all the pegs in the holes and he would try to screw in the screws. He understands the screwdriver screw relationship, but did not get that there were both hex and philips heads, and he was not able to screw it in when he had the right tool. As soon as I had the slats in, he climbed up there and was walking back and forth on them. He seemed to have fun putting it together and he slept in it last night, though he had me sit in the rocker until he was asleep.

You wont like me when I'm angry...

Ben was over tired tonight. I went to get him ready for bed and he found me the entire time. Then when I went to take him upstairs, he decided to take it out on the baby gate at the bottom of the stairs. He started shoving the gate with all his weight wider than it could open. Then, before I could pull him off the gate, the hinges and brackets shattered. That put a end to the tantrum. He was then upset that he had broke it and wanted it fixed. He went right to bed after that without any further argument.

What a Good Big Brother

While watching a movie...

I was lying on the bed watching a movie with Ben and Julie. Julie was lying between me and Ben. They were staying still being good for a while, and then Julie wanted Ben sippy cup, which he was drinking. She would reach for it and he would move a little bit away, and she would reach little bit further. This went on until Ben did not have any more room.. and fell off the bed. He walked all the way around the bed climbed on me and had me hold him for a little bit. Then he went back to his spot after putting his cup on the night stand.
