first day of school

Bentley started "school" (aka: mommy's day out) last week and....he LOVES it!

I knew he was ready but didn't realize he would be so excited to go.

I think I was more nervous than he was. When I dropped him off he started yelling "bye-bye" to me and ran off to the toys. And when I picked him up he started blowing kisses to his two sweet teachers.

He has the most outgoing personality... it makes me laugh.

Here are a few pictures with his new dinosaur backpack. :)

My little superman is growing big and strong!

Here is a video of him playing at the walnut hill open gym rec center.

This little kid brings so much joy in my life!

Hope you can view the video...Enjoy!

GOOD news!

Bentley hit a big mile stone...1.5 years. And boy do we have GOOD news for you!

I reintroduced dairy last week before his 18 month appointment hoping we could go with good news.
The Lord has been listening to my prayers because Bentley didn't react.
I just want to thank you for all the prayers and support thru this journey with his dairy allergy.
It has been much appreciated and I would love to give you all hugs if I could!

So far Mr. B has had chocolate pudding, chocolate milk, cheese pizza, grilled cheese sandwich, greek yogurt, and of course the best part...ICE CREAM! I was so excited to give him ice cream. If he is anything like his mommy and daddy I knew he would freak out...well he did! The kid started running around the den in circles, waving his arms, running back to me for more. I must say it was the happiest my heart felt in awhile knowing that he doesn't have to miss out anymore. The most exciting part of all is we finally get to order from the Kid's Menu at restaurants. I've always had to pack his food when we went out and it was a real treat for me to be able to go this week and just enjoy! We go back to the allergist this week to follow-up but so far so good...thanks for all the prayers.

Other than our fabulous dairy news we got a great report from Dr. Neely. Bentley weighs 29.4 lbs (85th percentile) and is 34 inches tall (95th percentile). He is a growing boy!

Check out B with his new electric car!
