Snacktime, by BNL

Barenaked Ladies just released Snacktime, a kids album. It's quite fun, and Benjy really likes this video for "Pollywog in a Bog". When I played it for him the first time, he was banging the table in time (sorta) with the music.

I ran across this video today, and just had to share.

Sitting up

Benjy now loves to sit up and play with his toys. Some underused measuring cups were an unexpected big hit with him.

Rendezvous with sweet potato

Benjy likes sweet potatoes even more than he liked rice cereal. Not so surprising, since rice cereal tastes like a whole lot of nothing. (His idea of nothing at all, as my Grampy would have said.) Here's the evidence.

And now, a few words from Max

What does Benjy's cousin Max have to say about the 4th of July? Plenty. :)

Update from Benjy's school

Every few months, Benjy's teachers at school write up their observations about his development. We got our first Sharing Sheet last week, and it's pretty neat. The best part is the paragraph about his interactions with other children:

Benjy has become a very social little boy. He loves interacting with the other babies and really enjoys when the older infants come up to him and play. When friends approach Benjy he reaches out, wanting to touch and cuddle with them. He absolutely loves his interactions with the other children.

We've published the entire Sharing Sheet for your reading pleasure.
