.....Benji loves that present, how heavy is it,? He tosses it around no problem!!!💪.I like your rug Amy, it's a lovey design 😚

[@benjaminthebestbird]

@SoniaBerger-o3x. It is only one pound. His lightest dumbbell before this was 1.5 lbs. He weights 1.4 pounds. So it's his first dumbbell that weighs less than he! Glad you like the rug! It's reeeeally soft... ❤️

[@smallpotato1773]

❤️💕♥️

[@PaleOpal21]

He's on a roll figuratively and literally.

[@asseyez-vous6492]

Maybe that can be Benji's first Hannukah present? He really does love that weight.

[@EZDiggin]

Nice retrieval mom!!!

[@benjaminthebestbird]

@EZDiggin. Thank you! 😀😂❤️

[@humbawena]

Thats okay he can open the other presents for the next 7 days, we have a holiday in our country that starts tonight and you can give charity for 7 nights to someone , so each present will be a miracle of light and you dont have to open all the gifts together .

[@benjaminthebestbird]

@humbawena It appears that is what he is going to do. 🙂. What a lovely tradition you describe. ❤️

[@EZDiggin]

He can really toss the new weight

[@gth042]

All that practice with the big iron, I guess. It'll be interesting to see what he things of the 3 and 5 pounders after driving the roadster around.

[@benjaminthebestbird]

@EZDiggin I think even he was surprised at how far and well he could throw it. 😂

[@benjaminthebestbird]

@gth042. The roadster is pleasing him greatly... 😂😂

[@spiritmatter1553]

Merry Christmas, Benjamin!

[@benjaminthebestbird]

@spiritmatter1553. Thank you so much! And a Merry Christmas to you!! 😀🎄

[@shanarstra2129]

He got a new weight!!! allright benjie, and mom, be careful Merry Christmas you guys!!🌲🌲🌲⛄⛄🤣⛄ mom he was gonna get it if u didnt!! Good present amy but I knew you would get a great one!!❤❤

[@benjaminthebestbird]

@shanarstra2129 😀❤️❤️😀. What did Dougie get for Christmas? This is his first Christmas, isn't it?

[@BirdsNNVA]

He’s so funny pushing that dumbbell across the floor at top speed! 🤣🤣🤣

[@benjaminthebestbird]

@BirdsNNVA. He has been playing with it for HOURS STRAIGHT! 😂😂

[@BirdsNNVA]

@ i guess the dumbbell counts as one of the most successful Christmas presents of all time!

[@Ichigo-tw5wp]

The new dumbell is really nice and bouncy!👍😃 is that a ball pool there in the background?

[@benjaminthebestbird]

@lchigo-tw5wp It does bounce nicely on the mats - he seems intrigued by that. 😂. And yep, he has a ball pit in the back section of his play space. And a sandbox too! 😀

[@LauraSmart-i6i]

The way Benji was right in momma's face whilst she was rescuing the toy ....😂. He's one spoiled boy! And I'm guessing that there's many more for him, when he gets bored of it.

[@benjaminthebestbird]

@LaurSmart-i6i. 😂😂. You have read the situation perfectly. 😂😂

[@kristenpage7887]

Merry Christmas Benji!

[@benjaminthebestbird]

@kristenpage7887. Merry Christmas to you!! 😀🎄

[@gth042]

One of those rare times when you reach into a dark place that hasn't been dusted for a while and worry more about your hand getting "bitten" once you pull it back out. 🤣 Not that he'd have gone after you. He did look pretty excited though.

[@benjaminthebestbird]

@gth042. 😂🤣😂. You got that right! 😂😂 He is most dangerous when he's excited - he bites hard and FAST! Never at me, but at the toy... that I am holding... with my fingers... 😳

[@Emilythematerialgurl]

Edit:Sorry about my rant I just thought share update and wanted also say benji reminds me of my child self who didn't have much growing up but first present I opened up I play with it forgetting about 6 other presents or so My mom is way to sweet I cried so hard she's having hard time especially with money yet she bought me 8 gifts I told her why no save up mom. I got her five gifts she asked for and she wanted me have them I told her no it's yours I didn't think it be true saying first Christmas without my dad I was numb this one I'm sad lost Christmas spirt at end but drink hot coco with my mom who has specail white hot coco because allergic to certain process the coco bean goes through made me feel bit better. But honestly as much wish world would end after my dad died I'm still keeping faith up and being her for my mom.

[@benjaminthebestbird]

@Emilythematerialgurl. Holidays are especially difficult when you've lost a loved one. It is wonderful that you are there for your mom. Her life changed in ways no one else can truly understand, when your dad died. You being there is such a gift for her. I just know you mean the world to her. You are a great daughter. You should be very proud. ❤️

[@Emilythematerialgurl]

@benjaminthebestbird thanks sending love but felt so bad for her when she tells me people go oh its going be OK get over it I find myself getting heated and angry like benji seeing hawks in the sky lol

[@shellygilmore6787]

Well I think Santa did good on this present

[@benjaminthebestbird]

@shellygilmore6787. Sure did!!!
