Party on the 4th

First off, this is why we were late to the party:

Ben hadn't napped the last couple days. I wasn't planning on him napping on the Fourth, either. I just plopped him in his crib with a toy while I got everything else ready to go. When I went to get him, he had tucked himself in and was fast asleep. I waited an hour and then woke him up, and off we went.

Simon looks huge in his car seat!



At Grandpa's, Ben just stood and watched the slip and slide for the longest time. Last year, we couldn't keep him out of it!



He finally got a push down the slide. Ben's cousins were so happy to see him, and wanted to play with him. He was pretty whiney, though. Maybe all those missed naps caught up with him. Plus he gets nervous when I'm out of sight. The cousins kept coaxing him to play (bless them), and he finally did manage to have a good time. I'll put some more pictures up tomorrow.

It was fun seeing you and the kids, even if Ben was a little whiney. It is completely understandable. Kids are affected by changes more than we think.
