Busy September

On Labor Day, all three members of Ben's family started school, and things have been very busy. His mom will try to catch up on the blog entries soon. Ben has one word he uses regularly, Uh-oh! He uses it both when things drop and when he throws them and wants them back. He is enjoying his daycare (Riverside Children's Center in Waban). He does lots of playing with lots of different toys, and they sing and read stories every day, and do all kinds of activities like play-dough, markers, painting, and even baking a cake. He particularly likes playing outside. They have a very well stocked, sandy toddler's playground, and he plays with dump trucks and shovels, cars he can ride, and all sorts of things. He usually has at least a quarter cup of sand in his shoes when he comes home. Last Friday was the first day when he not only didn't cry when he was picked up, but he didn't even cry when Andy dropped him off!
