On the night you were born

We spent another wonderful weekend up north.  The weather cooperated as best as it could for 2 lovely days on the boat.  Complete with wading in the water and a much needed nap.  We left a little later then expected, thus throwing the bedtime routine out the window.  But it was ok.  The 3 of us snuggled in bed and I read one of my favorite books, "On the night you were born" by Nancy Tillman. 

"On the night you were born you were born,

the moon smiled with such wonder

that the stars peeked in to see you

and the night whispered ,

"life will never be the same...""

 

Boys will be boys

Trains, airplanes, trucks, buses and cars rule my house.  One must be careful when walking around our house so not to break your neck on a matchbox car.  Those {dang} things are EVERYWHERE!! 

Last week, the WSP ECFE had a Truck and Travel show.  What an event!  There were fire trucks, police cars, semi trucks, cement trucks, school buses and tractors - oh my!!  The place was PACKED with kids all between the ages of 3 and 5 running and screaming with excitement at each of the vehicles.  Ben was a little intimidated at first but quickly warmed up. 

Benjamin is obsessed with Cars these days!  He got a few of the Cars character matchbox cars for this birthday and they haven't left his hands since!  It's pretty cool when your toy comes to "life" in your local high school parking lot!
