This has been such a fun month with Ben! He experienced his first Fourth of July and got his certificate of citizenship the weekend before which was really fun to get :) I sometimes forget what an absolute privilege it is to live in this country and that was such a sweet reminder for me. He enjoyed the fire works (for the first five minutes lol) but enjoyed even more the glow sticks and bubbles that we played with beforehand. He continues to love water and if he had his choice every day we would be outside in a sprinkler, at the pool, or playing with our water table. I hope Fall and Winter which is quickly approaching isn't too much of a shocker for him 😁 He also got to experience this first confetti filled package from Grandpa and to our expectation, threw the confetti everywhere- which is why we had the kids open the package outside instead of inside :) He brings so much joy to our lives and it has been so fun to watch him grow these past four months. He is picking up on language so so fast and although the sharing and taking turns isn't coming as quickly as I sometimes would like it to, I have to remember how much he has grown in such a short amount of time!
