The Hannig Home

Luke started calling Benjamin "Ben-Ben."  I like it.  Ben-Ben has become quite a little boy.  Here are some things that make our Ben-Ben, well, our Ben-Ben. **He loves to wear undies (over his diaper), which I believe I already mentioned in a previous posting.  He comes barreling down the hall with a new pair of undies every few hours and launches them at me, yelling, "Undies, Undies!"  He refuses to wear pants or socks. **He fell in love with the game of golf and plays from morning till night.  He sleeps with his golf clubs and brings them in the car with us wherever we go.  At 7am he comes into our room with his clubs and says "Ready golf Daddy?!"  Check out this video I posted on Youtube: And here he is bringing his golf clubs with him to get the mail with me. **He follows direction and is very obedient.  If we ask him to get a diaper, throw something in the garbage, put away his jammies, bring his dinner plate to the sink

Check it out. Not only are Luke and Ben now sharing a room, they are sharing a bed!  We knew when the baby came in July, Ben would have to move in with Luke (because we don't want to move Luke into the basement bedroom).  I was planning on working on this transition in June, but Benny was showing interest already and Luke was on board, so we gave it a try.  It started with Ben coming into Luke's room for story time at night.  After the story, he'd happily transition to his crib in his own room for the night.  But recently he started wanting to stay.  At the same time he was becoming more flexible with sleeping in beds at Grandma and Granpa's houses overnight as well as at sleeping in beds at friend's houses during nap time.  So last week we put a crib mattress on the floor next to Luke's bed and he stayed in Luke's room (picture.  quite blurry): Surprisingly they both slept better than ever, although Ben woke up and wanted to go to his crib around 6a
