Here I go again with my writer’s block. But I’m going to skip the extra step of pictures and give a quick update before nap is over.

Ben continues to love trains. Like, we might need a serious train-tervention over here. It’s how we spend our days. But oh, it could be so much worse, so I’m living it up engine-style while I can. He continues to be my man of few words and in his own world, but every now and then he goes on a story telling kick or lets me in on what’s happening at school. He still moves like a turtle to school, but it’s a tolerant turtle. I won’t complain about that either.

Fred is starting to communicate more, although he still prefers serious babbling, whining, or grunting when it’s faster. He is my runner and early riser. He has the best “I’m getting into trouble” face and is starting to pretend that he can count. It’s adorable.

As lame as this is, I’m going to publish without pictures or editing so that I have a January blog in the books. If I get another one in, bonus!
