Always on the go

If an item has a strap or a string on it, Ben will attempt to put it on. Most times he'll keep trying until he gets it around his neck. I'm not quite sure how he got this bag on him, but he did it all by himself.

Buttons, buttons, buttons. If there are buttons to be pushed, he will find them and push them. He likes the keyboard, mouse, cordless phone, cell phones and especially remotes (that he has seen us use, otherwise it's just a pointless remote that we don't care about and he wants nothing to do with those).
Oooooo. We're working on what we're suppose to look like when blowing out a candle.

Trouble

Lots of trouble. If things are picked up and put away, that's just not right for Ben. He will go and empty out the 'need to be shredded' bucket, pull down all the books on the bookshelf, empty the toy basket in the family room, take the dvd's off the shelf, and start pulling all the food off of the shelves. I try SO hard to keep up with him and it is just SO exhausting. I want my house to be picked up and he just DOESN'T.

Ally was playing a game on her camera.

Ben wanted to be included in the game playing.

Warning: Ben gives open mouth, slobbery kisses. And I absolutely love it!

He is so sweet. If you say "kiss" he'll come over to you and open his mouth. He has no problem giving out kisses. Most of the time he doesn't even mind kissing Ally.

Especially if he thinks he can get his hands on something she's holding while kissing!

In primary, I asked the kids to listen to the talks given by President Monson and either draw me a picture or write down 1 thing they learned from him. Ally would listen for a few seconds and then draw something he said that she knew how to draw. It was quite cute.

While sister watched President Monson, Ben walked the loop in the house, just giggling. I think he was trying to make me think he was up to something, even though he wasn't.
