It is hockey season again and this family is LOVING it. Ben always has loved hockey. His third word (before Mama mind you) was "goal". The kid loves watching the players move around the ice in between his playing time and he surprised both his parents the other day with his first real sentence and said "Lets go Caps". Needless to say both his Dad and I were stunned but elated that Ben put three whole words into one sentence and even more fun he was talking about his favorite team when he did.
My little Ben is really growing up. I just can't believe in such a short amount of time how much one little person can grow. We still have our little temper tantrums (he has his Dad's stubborn side) but he really is an amazing, loveable little guy that just warms both his Dad and my heart.
Tomorrow will be Ben's FIRST out of school field trip to Cox Farms. How cool is that! His Dad and I took him a couple weeks back because this Mama wanted to see first hand Ben's reaction to all the animals, slides, etc., that the October Festival had to offer. He LOVED all the different slides and although they seemed pretty steep to me, he had no problem jumping on and sliding down laughing the entire way. He is certainly going to have a blast tomorrow. He is also going to get a HUGE thrill of riding the school bus for the first time. He points to the school's bus every time we leave day care and I am sure just doing that would thrill the little guy. He really does love anything and everything that does some sort of transportation.
