21 months!!!

I cannot believe that our gorgeous boy is 21 months this week! That's a year and three quarters, where has the time gone? I don't want him to get any older than 2 because I love this age so much. Benjamin is still my baby and is still quite infant-like in some ways....but at the same time he is getting more independent and confident by the day. Here are some cute bits of information about him:

- He has started kissing us :) I am so pleased about this because he has never done this up until now and I thought he might be anti-kissing ha! He has always been cuddly though. But now he gives Ben a kiss when he is leaving for work and will sometimes give me a kiss when I ask for one.
- He has some favourite programmes on TV including 'Bob the Builder', 'Postman Pat', 'Sarah and Duck', 'Chuggington', 'Woolly and Tig' and I hate to say it but he is fascinated by the world's most annoying man....Mr Tumble! ha! These are all on the CBeebies channel.
- For about a week he did not want to take his daytime nap but he has now gone back to taking his nap late morning into lunchtime. I am VERY pleased about this! :)
- He has developed a great interest in books which I am loving too! He asks me to read them to him, sometimes more than once at a time ha! He loves 'talking' about the pictures and if I ask him to show me where something is on the page, such as a flower or butterfly, he likes pointing it out. The ex-teacher inside me is ecstatic right now hehe! ;)
- He is enjoying church nursery and for the first time since the end of December, he said goodbye to Daddy last Sunday and went straight in himself without crying at all! However he still cries when he sees his Dad in a suit on Sunday morning and then again when we approach the chapel car park. He is smarter than I give him credit for haha! 
- He loves going to visit people in their homes. If I park outside somebody's house perhaps to post something in their letter box, Benjamin cries for a little while when we drive away again because he thought we were going in ha! I cannot even drive into a cul-de-sac to turn around because he is convinced we are about to get out the car and go visit somebody!!!
- He is crazy about those toy cars that little kids can 'ride' or 'scoot along'. He is still totally obsessed with pushing objects through holes.....haha! He is a VERY active child and doesn't sit still for very long unless he is engrossed in a toy or a TV programme. Ben was just like this as a child too! 
- He is a great dancer. His whole body moves. His favourite song has got to be 'Gangnam Style' (groan!) but most kinds of music will get him grooving. 

We love Benjamin so much....just as he is :)
