...makes even the dullest tasks more fun. We were at Winco today and Ben was walking alongside me spreading all his love around. We passed a woman with a two-year old standing in her cart sporting his footie jams. Ben's strutting by him with all the independence of a nearly 5 year-old, and smiles up at the kid. "You look really cute in those jams!" says he. And all the women in the aisle look around to see this little charmer and his little cup sloppin' over with love, and they laugh.

Ben also likes to refer to himself as 'super-cute'. In the third person.
As in, "Super-cute's gonna wear his new boots today."
It all started with the purchase of some jams that announced 'super-cute' all across his chest.

And lastly. We have a Cookie Day for Jonah at our school every Wednesday. The kids can buy cookies and all the proceeds go to Jonah, our 10-year old buddy who was recently diagnosed with leukemia. This fundraiser has been a confusing concept for the littlest students, as in, how can eating cookies help? But Ben explained it to me the other day.
"My teacher said that Jonah had a whole lot of cookies. And his teacher told him that he had to eat them all. And so he did. But that made him really sick. So we are going to eat some of his cookies so he doesn't get sick anymore..."
