Good Brother
Ben is a great brother. He is at a great age where he loves playing with his big sister Caelan. She loves it because he will still do most everything that she wants to do...and he is happy doing it. Since Caelan started school he has started spending more quality playing time with Megan too. He isn't to controlling of the play - they like to be outside or play with Bruno or play with hard toys in the house (little plastic character figurines). He is also a super good big brother to Nathan. He loves to help him when he is sad. Ben isn't super confident about holding him - he's really gently with him and so he always wants to be really careful with him. He loves when Nathan smiles. The other day Ben put his face right up to Nathan's to give him a little love. Nathan apparently was ready to eat because he went right for the nose and started sucking. Ben got a real kick out of this.

Napping
Ben isn't much of a napper. He actually stopped falling asleep during nap time several months ago. We still have "quiet time" every day, but usually he is awake and quietly reading books or hanging out in his bed. He is quite the good-natured kid, so even though he stopped napping at a super young age he is generally quite pleasant. Although after several days of hard playing or if we have a few nights where we are up later than usual it can sometimes take it's toll. He doesn't usually get crazy grumpy or anything (although this has happened a handful of times). Usually he just crashes at some point in the afternoon. This has happened a few different times in the last couple of weeks - maybe it's all the excitement with the new baby and having Grandparents in town and such. When he crashes...he really crashes good (3 full hours or more). The downside is that usually this means he also has a harder time falling asleep at night when he takes those marathon naps.

Wii
We recently got a Wii. Caelan and Ben love to play the Wii sports game of boxing, and it is hilarious to watch the get into it. They are cracking up for half of the rounds.
