Take Me Out to the Ball Game


Benjamin attended his very first MLB game on Thursday - Detroit Tigers vs. LA Angels. The Tigers won 12-0, so apparently Benjamin is a good omen. Kelly's entire department at work went and he took Benjamin along while I had a few hours to myself! Glorious! You can't tell by the picture, but Kelly says Benjamin had a great time. He even clapped when others around him were clapping. He's a sports fan already!

Benjamin has also become a music fan. He's figured out how to make all his musical toys play, so he can start them whenever he wants. Yesterday he had several out in front of him and was making them play simultaneously. Then he started to dance. Benjamin's dance consists of bouncing up and down while pointing both index fingers in the air and moving his arms up and down or out in front of him. It's hysterical. Whenever the music on one or more toys would stop, he'd reach down, start them up again, and then continue his dance. We couldn't be more proud of our up and coming DJ. He now dances to any music he hears - at church, during choir practice, any musical toy he owns, etc. He's so much fun to watch. If he'd ever continue doing it after I've started the video camera, I'd post a clip.

He's also adopted another adorable habit. Whenever he wants to read a book, he'll get one off the shelf, and then sit himself on the nearest available lap so that person will read to him. He first did it at the library, but since then he's done it at home to both me and Kelly. When he gets bored with the book, he'll get up, grab another, and come sit back down. He's got to be the cutest boy there ever was.
