February 29th delivered our season's first true winter storm, so March came in like a lion after all.
We bought Ben a shiny new red tricycle last week (with a proper bell, I might add:)).
The kid has 6 older cousins; 99% of his clothes and toys are hand-me-downs, which we love. But we couldn't resist getting him his first bike. He was thrilled. He didn't really know what to do with himself. It's still a bit too big for him, so he can sit on it, but his feet can't reach the pedals. So, in his excitement, he took his blocks and put them on the seat of the trike and pushed it around the kitchen, took the blocks off the trike, banged them together and started all over again.

We figure that, by the time the snow melts, he'll be big enough to ride the trike outside, properly:). For now, it sits in the garage, like a little red trophy.
Speaking of hand-me-downs, this stuffed animal was mine when I was little. It was called 'Froggie Froggie', as, apparently, I thought it was a frog. After a spa day, which consisted of a cycle in the washer and dryer, Froggie Froggie looks like new and now belongs to Ben. His new name is 'Polar' (pronounced 'Pol-ah').
A few weeks ago I cut Ben's hair for the first time. This morning, I took him to the grocery store and a sweet older woman approached us and said 'Oh, he's so cute. Did he cut his own hair? Don't worry; all of my kids did it. They all do at some point in their lives'.
Did I really do that terrible of a job that she assumed my 15-month old took a pair of scissors to his own hair??
No more haircuts from mama. This can be dada's job:).
I'm reading 'Bossypants', by Tina Fey. This book has me tearing up and laughing out loud. It's hilarious. Have you read it?
Happy March to you:).
