The letter B

December was our month of B. Unfortunately, with Christmas shopping, traveling etc, we didn't get to everything on the list. Although, at this point, I don't think Ben will be too sad he missed out on ballet (sorry to all the dancers, but he is still a 3 year old boy).

B seemed to be a lot easier than A. We had a huge list of things so heres what we covered:

Food: we made some Banana Bread, a favorite of the Boys. We went to the Bagel house, as Ben calls it, and had Bagels.

Ben also helped me make Buttons for dessert.

We also enjoyed lots of delicious Bacon, Blueberries were in Grams fruit salad and we had Burgers for dinner once or twice this month.

People(ish): Bob the tomato has been played A LOT this month especially since we have the Veggie Tales Christmas cd---lucky us! BNL also has a Christmas cd and Ben is in love with their version of "Jingle Bells" so we've listened to them for every car ride in December!

Ben is a pro at spelling his name and reminded us that Ben starts with B as well as Bailey and Brothers.

Ben has a couple stuffed animals that he sleeps with every night. One of them is Baby Bear.

At Sunday school, the kids had a Birthday party for Baby Jesus and everyone got a Balloon. We spent a lot of time reading the story of Jesus' Birth, so we didn't get to our B Bible person, Boaz.

Animals: We looked at Bears, Butterflies, Birds and Baboons. Ben colored a picture of Big Bird.

We found some practical stuff around the house like a Broom, Buttons, Bathtub, Blankets and a Band aid.

We looked at some toys and found the Bushel game (also known as Hi Ho Cherryo to everyone else), the Ball pit and Bubbles.

We were going to take a picture of all the Bruises on Bens leg, but it just looked morbid!

Ben learned a new French word, Bonjour.

We didn't make it to the library for B books, but found a couple here like, "Benjamin Bear Says Sorry."

I had planned on driving up by the lake to look for Boats, but we ran out of time so we just played with his Boat in the Bubble Bath.

We found some B crayons like Blue and Brown and finally, we looked at pictures from my first vacation with Jon. We went to Maine, but spent some time in Boston first.

On to letter C....
