Weekend Adventures with Grandpa Dale and Grandma Patty

Over Valentine's/President's Day weekend, Grandpa Dale and Grandma Patty came to visit! We had lots of fun and Benjamin showed off his 19 month old tricks to them. This included many rounds of 'head, shoulders, knees and toes' and singing the 'abc' song (us singing, Benjamin dancing to it). It was so funny because Benjamin insisted that everyone participate and if you stopped singing and dancing with him, he would stop his dancing and point at you until you complied. At that point he would smile really big and clap his hands and then resume his own dancing and singing. Grandpa received this pointing many times, as he was not inclined to touch his toes and sing the 'abc' song over and over, as Benjamin loves to do! But he was a good sport and happily sang and danced with Benjamin. Benjamin also showed off his climbing skills by pulling the kitchen chairs out on his own and then climbing on them.

Here are some of the pictures of our fun with Benjamin:
