They have a really cool dinosaur exhibit and they have these little tunnels that you can go through and then look up onto the dinosaur fossils. You can see Dave and Benjamin in the little bubble looking up!
This is the tunnel that you go through to get to the bubble. Benjamin really, really, really, really liked the tunnel! He spent about 10 minutes going back and forth in it and having the time of his life! I really like the expression on his face here (I even made it the background on my computer)! :)
In other news, Benjamin has become quite the good sleeper. He is absolutely ready to go to bed between 8 and 8:30 (unless we are out somewhere). Now some of you may know, this was not always the case. The first year of his life he was quite the night owl. For the first three months or so of his life he had a fussy awake period everyday from like 10 to 2:30 am (very exhausting for mommy and daddy)! Then he started going to bed between 11 and 2 am every night, but only with lots of rocking and trying and sometimes putting him down, him waking up and then we started all over again (also very tiring). At around nine months we started putting him to bed still awake around 9 or 10 by the urging of our pediatrician. He would go to sleep this way, but only after 15 to 40 minutes of screaming and crying. Lately he has been going to be earlier and earlier with less and less crying. The last few nights he has reached for his bed and his blanket as if he was asking to go to bed and he doesn't even let out a cry anymore! Well tonight, I had quite the surprise. Instead of my holding him (and Elmo and his blanket) on the way to his room while we cuddle and hug.....he walked from the living room, into his room, to his crib and pointed to it and started uhhhing that he wanted in it! How crazy is that? Things sure do change!!!!! He's a really sweet boy and we are so blessed! I love watching him develop and definitely enjoy his new sleeping habits! :)
