So sweet :)

Benjamin has just been such sweet little guy lately, I had to share a few stories:

After he finished lunch Benjamin had gotten down from the table where I was still sitting with Talia while she finished her soy butter & honey sandwich. He was running in and out on some important errand or another, narrarating and chatting to himself as he went. On one trip in to the kitchen I caught, "Come right back" in a familiar tone (the same tone in which I tell the kids "I'll be right back" when I have to leave them at the table to change a load of laundry or get something from another room.) Curious, I watched as he ran out to the living room, leaned on a chair for a few seconds, waiting for time to pass, and then came running back in the kitchen. :) It's always interesting to catch a glimpse of their perception of what Mama does. :)

When it is time for Benjamin's breathing treatment (once in the morning and once before bed) I usually give him a choice between 3 videos to watch. He often anticipates this ritual, shouting, "Three choices!" as he capers off toward the TV. Yesterday morning I retrieved the customary assembly from their shelf and held them out for his review. He put his little finger up to tap his jaw and said thoughtfully, "Let's see...."

Speaking of movie time, evidently Benjamin has seen me multi-tasking a bit lately. When Seth recently asked him to press the play button on the DVD player, he promptly hiked his little foot up into the air and pressed the button with his big toe.
