Ben is 2

Ben is now two.

We had a party in our garden, invited a couple of friends and had a blast.

There was a rather smart water table from Aunt Ursie and co.

 

An exciting bike from Grannie and Bumper.

 

 

Lots of playing.

 

 

Cake!

 

Even a chance to jam with Helena!

 

Under a shady tree...

The exciting Ben purchase of this week was this:

Which meant we could bike to a nearby park, making this possible:

Ben with an icecream

It's a classic look

Ben's bath crayons

Artistic genius.

Ben in a box!

Marina bought some new storage boxes. Ben was incredibly interested.

Ben at a party

On Saturday Ben went to a friends 2nd birthday party.

Ben likes parties.

He also went in a paddling pool willingly for the first time. He even fell over in it and it wasn't the end of the world.

I know it doesn't look like much, but this is huge progress!

New garden toys!

One of my co-workers spotted two great toys left out on the curb by her neighbors.

She swiped them, pressure washed them and dropped them over to us.

Ben is in heaven
