Tracey - Benjamin has come out with plenty of new words in the past few weeks. Stink, I fart hahaha, Car (of course which drives us mad too), truck and some other words you have to tell him to slow down to actually understand them when you get him to repeat them. What a wonderful age this is...

It's nice to see things in here are still progressing and that you all have been very busy.

Again we've had trouble at daycare, it seems constant lately. We've had to put guidelines and procedures in place for Benjamin, as he's found that he can use his muscle and size to get what he wants from other kids. We certainly didn't raise him to be the class bully but it certainly is becoming that way. We've nipped most of it in the butt by trying to catch him before he gets nasty to others and it seems to be working. I don't have his teacher trying to pull her hair out as much now, which is good. We were very upset with him last week when we heard he gave a little girl a black eye, all to get a toy from her. They said it happened so quickly and without warning. He'd picked up a toy container and hit the little girl with it across the bridge of her nose then took the toy she had. Benjamin spent time in the directors office after that. He was not impressed about that, but neither were we when we found out what he had done.
