On The Go!

Here are a few pictures of Benjamin's latest helmet decorations. The front says, "on the go" and the back has his name along the bottom, and stickers of different forms of transportation (cars, trucks, planes.... and more!). Benjamin, smacking his mouth while eating hot dogs.
Last night before the softball game.
We have a helmet check this Thursday. I'm anxious to see the orthotist because Benjamin has a rub spot. Not only is it red, but it gets really sweaty. It's gross!
In non-helmet related news, Benjamin has been taking a few tentative steps. He's been doing this for awhile, but not consistently, so I wasn't counting those first few steps. But as of late, he's really been becoming braver, and today he took SIX steps! Once my other two kiddos started walking, that was the end of crawling! Benjamin on the other hand, has been much more cautious. If he doesn't think he can make his destination is about four steps, he'll just crawl. Such a silly boy! I was talking to a friend last night, and we were laughing about the thought of Benjamin having to adjust to walking without the helmet. Poor guy's going to be running into walls!

What a boy! Losing the helmet won't be a problem for a young guy like Benjamin...he'll simply be more aerodynamic.

Let the 3 Musketeer adventures begin!

Cute helmet! Adam is very hesitant too while Andrew on the other hand leaps out of my arms (then crashes) but just doesn't have the skills to match his bravery yet. We have that same blue/red shirt, we'll have to do a twinkie day sometime and take their pictures together.
