things ben has taught me

in his short 3 years (well actually mostly in the past 2) ben has taught me many things.

*i've learned that when pulled out one by one, a box of kleenex can cover the carpet of an entire room.

*i've learned that to properly wash a counter one must use a dripping wet washcloth and spread puddles around everywhere.

*i've learned that sharpie markers are in fact permanant on all surfaces.

*i've learned to always keep extra paint on hand to cover up "art projects" using said sharpie markers.

*i've learned that yogurt works better than hair gel.

AND ... as of today i've learned something new.

*i've learned that a 40 lb 3 yr old can take 5 triaminic soft chews without harming his body. it should be noted however -- they will cause a short buzz. and this buzz will abrubtly stop causing previously mentioned 3 year old to fall asleep wherever he is (for example on his chair in the middle of IHOP during lunch.)

a day rarely passes that i don't say to myself at least one time "what in the world was he thinking?!" he's not a naughty little kid. just very curious. and very busy.

life without ben would be very boring.
