It's amazing, really how the little things really do bring us the most joy. Almost daily, Bennett is learning new words and useful expressions. Just this evening I felt the heat (it's suppose to be colder than cold tonight) kick on as I was standing near a register in our home. A rush of warm air could be felt if you put your hand right over it. I called Bennett over and he copied me, putting his hand over the register. I said, "hot! hot!". He looked right back at me and said as clear as a bell, "hot!". Amazing!
One of his favorite new "tricks" is to shake his head from side to side any time Momma or Daddy tell him, "no no".
Last week, while in Chicago, he learned the word "choo choo" as we watched the train from our hotel window.
And he has discovered a love of french fries. We were eating at Wendy's and he had two fries sticking out his mouth, one or two in each hand and was trying to reach for more from the fry box.
He is also learning to pick up his blocks and put them away for Momma, although he is much better at emptying out the pantry cabinet.
So, those are a few of the new things around the Toews' home.
Chris and I continue to be amazed at how God has blessed us with so much, the most important being the wonderful relationships we have with all of you (you know who you are).

That's my boy!!! Gotta love those french fries!!! And you gotta eat them with both hands before the people who claim they didn't want fries start eating yours!!! It's a good thing you're learning that now!

It's so much fun to see them learning all kinds of new things....it makes you feel like the invented half the things that they do! :) Glad you're having such a great time with him.
