learning is fun!

i remember talking with a former boss about her child and all the new things he was learning. and it was amazing to think that everything that we know we have to learn-it seems very silly, i know, but i realized that you have to learn how to drink..how to speak..etc. and now that beniah is learning more and more it is so much fun to watch him grow in understanding.

coco, our dog, has one sweater that i will throw on him when it gets chilly. beniah laughed when i put the sweater on coco and has brought it over to coco several times when it was off. one time in particular it was on the stairs because it needed to be washed and beniah climbed up the stairs, brought it down to coco on the floor, and then put it on top of him. i told beniah that it was dirty and that we needed to clean it first and took it off of coco and headed toward the stairs...and then beniah burst into tears. he was so excited to see the sweater on coco!

beniah also loves to put socks and shoes on. whenever i tell him that we need to put his socks or shoes on he sits down on the floor and holds one foot up. it is so fun to see him connect the dots. he even reaches out to pull his velcro tab on his shoe to fasten it onto his foot.

occasionally i will take beniah along and go help or watch dave at vball practice. one day we walked it at the end and the girls were trying to serve 50 serves in a row so they were all lined up serving one after the other. beniah was standing on the sideline with me just watching when he raised his arm and thrust it to try to "serve" his own imaginary ball.

its amazing how our brains absorb so much information!

here are some photos from our trip to state last weekend:
