King Ben and the Babies of the Round Table

I couldn't help but take a picture of Ben at his daycare this week.  He loves that he can sit up and sit with all the other 'big kids.'   He starts each day at daycare sitting at this table with his friends.

Who would know that Ben is the youngest kid there?  The little girl to Ben's left is 6 months, and the two other kids (twins) are about 8 months old.   There are other kids that come to and sit at this table who are a bit older, but they weren't there yet this morning.

The teachers there have all told us right from the start that Ben doesn't like being alone.  If he was in a swing on one side of the room and all the other kids were on the other side, he would cry or fuss.  Put him next to another kid - and he's happy.  (Which has been my argument as to why Ben needs a brother!)

Lately there's been a lot of pacifier stealing going on at this table.  Ben's not sure how to take that - he just tries staring the offender down...  which mostly doesn't work.  He's a little young to teach him Tae Kwon Do, but you know as soon as I can I'll teach him a "knife edge block" to stop anyone from stealing his binky!
