Benjamin went to the doctor for a (slightly late) 2 year checkup and to get a polio booster shot. He has now topped 30 lbs, so carrying him is becoming more of a challenge, especially considering all 30 lbs is usually flailing wildly.
His shots have always been administered in the same special room in the doctors office. For the first time ever, he looked around the room and immediately knew where he was and started crying preemptively. His brain is now capable of remembering, which means he is now capable of harboring long-term grudges. He has become a high-level sentient and aware being, like Skynet. His evil powers can only increase now.
His fury about the shot was short-lived, because he got his very own lollipop. He enjoyed it immensely, although probably didn't enjoy having both of his parents hovering over him and incessantly reminding him to lick it and not stuff the whole thing all at once down his gullet.
We went for a bike ride last weekend and he got to try some honeysuckle. Our fears that he would subsequently see every plant as possibly edible appear to be unfounded.
