Daddy and Ben Day

Today was a great Daddy and Ben day.

After church, Ben and Daddy took Ben's bicycle over to the Episcopal Church parking lot so that Ben could practice learning to ride. Ben is getting much better, and he rode down the gentle slope chanting "con-cen-trate, con-cen-trate". Daddy let go right at the top and could barely keep up! Ben even stopped all by himself and stepped off of the bike. Ben and Daddy are both looking forward to trying again. It won't be long until Ben is riding all by himself.

Once Ben had ridden down the slope twice, Daddy and Ben packed up the bike and went to Home Depot. At Home Depot, Ben pushed the cart the whole time, even when it was loaded up with 2x4s and crown moulding. Ben bought a metal threaded rod for himself.

When Ben and Daddy got home, they both carried their purchases out to the treehouse platform and worked some more on putting together the left wall. Ben likes to hammer.

At the end of the day, after dinner and baths, as Daddy was snuggling Ben before going to sleep, Ben told Daddy that he had a really great day. His favorite part was the tree house.

There's a lot more tree house to go, and Daddy is really looking forward to more Ben and Daddy days.
