Who's a big boy?

Ben is. Last night was a double step into big boy world. He slept in his car bed for the first time (no issues) and slept without an overnight diaper for the first time (no issues).

Kate reading

Chris says we need to get people to start writing books so Kate doesn't run out of reading material.  She eventually fell asleep on the couch.

Ben's dressing up

Ben was really busy putting on necklaces in Kate's room and when the one wouldn't fit over his head, he said "Look! I'm a princess!"

Dear grandmama - thank you for the yummy dessert.  Are you coming back to clean me up?
