Ben picked me a flower the other day. It was a dandelion, but those are flowers for a toddler right? It’s not like I’d know the difference, I once pulled daffodils out of my flower bed because I thought they were weeds…

When we came inside I put it in a little cup in the window sill and Ben FLIPPED OUT. He started pointing hysterically at the flower and begging me to give it back to him. Apparently he hadn’t given it to me for keeps. Stinker. I gave it back to him and he started ripping the “petals” off and leaving a trail of flower through the house. Oh well, I suppose it was the thought that counted ;-)

Also, Ben said a full out intelligent sentence today. Previously “Uh oh drop bear” ranked highest, but this afternoon he said “Mommy read book please” as he shoved a Thomas the Train book at me. I was reading my own book and it simply wasn’t good enough for him to read next to me. It was cute, so we read Thomas…many times…

On another note, we just got back from visiting my dad and family in Massachusetts. I have a thousand and one pictures to sort through, but will be posting about all that soon!
