He and his cousin Emily love the cars, boats, planes and helicopters just their size.
For some reason this next picture is bigger than the others (my computer-savvy brothers are probably groaning at my ignorance) but at least this way you can also see Ben on his first carousel ride to my left. JB is holding him tight as he looks at me (pre-haircut) and Max.
It's much shorter, and all the too-blonde highlights I was growing out are gone. I was so pleased about it this morning, that I've been stomping down the hallway like a full-figured model looking fierce on the runway. That's also because I just watched the finale of "America's Next Top Model." Whitney, the winner, was called "full-figured" because she's a size 10. I call it a perfect 10. Here's me with my best model face.
I think I look bemused, bothered or bewildered -- I'm not sure which.
From left to right: JB, Ben, Max, me, Nona (Pauline), Scott, Grandpa (John), Emily and Bart. The other siblings were still at work but gave Scott big hugs at home.
Look at all the babies! This was his favorite moment from shopping with us.
A good moment on the plane. That's the Skymall magazine. I think it's open to an ad for hair restoration.
We also took a long walk, played the Wii, went shopping...my trip ended too soon. But thankfully Ben did very well on the airplane rides. It was funny to see people walk to my row then keep going when they saw the baby. He slept most of the time, and once I even got an extra seat beside me.
Next time we visit Max wants to go -- so does JB. I brought back some barbecue in a small cooler and they loved it.
