Ben threw up one more time early Monday morning so we stayed upstairs until Jim, Fran, MV and Janey had left to go have Christmas with Fran's dad. We had lunch with Nana and Grandaddy and then headed home. We've had a fun week playing with all of their new things. We've had several beautiful, warm days this week so we've been able to go outside and play as well.
It took Ben three days to get good at pedaling. The first time out of the garage, I pushed him off and turned around to help Mollie on her tricycle and crash Ben has wrecked in our driveway. Thankfully, he jumped up and was ready to try again. There have been a few more wrecks as he's tried to learn how to use the brakes.
Like Ben, Mollie's legs are short and she can't reach the pedals yet on her tricycle. She learning how to push herself with her feet. Ben did that for years on his tricycle.
Mama packed Ben, Emalee, and Rylee each a box of art supplies that included a roll of tape. Ben had used an entire roll of tape by Saturday afternoon. This picture is taped to the oven.
Ben using one of his new motorized construction toys to demolish a bridge he built while watching Bob the Builder On Site Roads and Bridges (which was in his stocking). Ben got two motorized construction vehicles, which meant John had one to play with too. Later in the evening, while I was putting Mollie to bed I could hear them building together but couldn't take a picture.
Acting silly while I tried to take a picture of him in his new dragon (or dinosaur) hooded bath towel from Nana and Grandddy.
Mollie saying "cheese" for the camera in her new owl hooded bath towel.
Mollie feeding her baby "bananas." It's such a cute doll. It talks. It says things like "Mommy I'm hungry" and "I love bananas."
Maybe Mollie will eat the bananas instead of feeding her baby.
Another "cheese" picture with her new fairy soccer ball from Jim and Fran. No more fighting over the soccer ball. Mollie's girly ball is obviously hers.
Ben trying out his new "shovel rake" from Santa. This was the one random gift he asked Santa for when we visited him at the mall.
Building a road in the dirt with his new mini construction vehicles.
