last week in the waiting room of the doctor's office ben suddenly decided he'd rather be shirtless and shoeless! (whats new) He ripped off his shirt and threw his shoes across the room with a big determined smile. I tried hard to at least sneak his shirt back on, but man this boy is strong willed! I wasn't totally comfortable with having my two year old run around without any shirt or without any shoes! ( the park is one thing, but the doctors office...) but I decided I was going to pick my battles and this was not going to be one of them...I knew I wouldn't win anyway. This picture pretty much sums up ben these days... shirtless and stubborn!!!!

Tomorrow Ben turns three! Maybe that means the terrible two's are behind us! If not, O'well. We love ben just the way he is!

Happy Birthday Ben! we love you!
