Tales from Toddlerhood … Greetings and other miscellany

I think Benjamin may be practicing to be a greeter at church …

Today, coming home from the grocery store, climbing the steps up to our porch, Benjamin turned around and waved to no one in particular, shouting, "He-woe, pee-poe!"  (Hello, people!)

While I was unloading the groceries, he wandered into the kitchen and saw some of his trucks on the shelf … "Oh! He-woe guys!"

And when he saw the mailman pull up in front of our house, he waved and said, "He-woe, may-nan!"  (Hello, mailman!)  Then, "Look, Money!  I waving!" so proud of himself!

….

For the majority of this morning, Benjamin played independently in his room.  As I passed back-and-forth, I would hear him playing with his trucks/trains/boat or talking to his stuffed animals or looking through his books.  I was so proud of his independence and thankful for a few moments to get things done, I never investigated what was really going on in there…
I'm contemplating whether we need to call in a disaster recovery team.



One of Benjamin's new favorite games is to build a house/tunnel/castle in the living room with blankets.  Fleece blankets + dry winter air + fine baby hair = some pretty hilarious moments.

It's incredibly difficult to get a picture of these hair-raising experiences, but here's the best one so far...
