Benjamin is saying so many cute things it just stops me in my tracks when he speaks. I can never get over how marvelous the mind is. How such a little soul can understand so much. He causes us to smile nearly each day with something new...he says,"nana" for banana. "cank cu' for thank you...uh oh, qeese for cheese. He goes vroom vroom for a truck. He calls our dog Rowdy, "dowa' , "cuukie" for cookie, " crack cu" for cracker. He is enjoying his freedom so much right now. Running from room to room exploring with me on his heels. He is growing so fast.....I put the rocking chair back in his room so I can hold him all I can....

Mutiny!.......
Well you teach a kid to read and write and what do you get???Mutiny letters tacked around the house! Awhile back I told the kids to do their chores and they wanted to play. Of course they started talking (very loudly I might add) in the kitchen well within earshot about how awful their lives were....I had to laugh. I laugh even now. So they come in grab up a sheet of paper from a pile I have for them and I hear them getting out the crayons and markers and I don't know what all to write this earth shattering letter to their mother who was standing over them with a chain to make their bed and clean up the toys.
Later Audrey and Judah come in and thump that letter down and I nearly lost it.( I only wish I could get a picture on here but the digital is working on and off because of a busted battery cover.)
The Letter was in Judah's legible scribble scrabble writing and both children had signed the bottom with their names and Audrey had drawn a picture of them both with their fists raised! Unbelievable! Any way here is the letter locked up and kept for such a time of black mail:
Mom and Dad, You make us work too much. We are going far away! Judah (Picture of boy with raised fist! Audrey(picture of girl and raised fist!)
I got another one from Judah not long ago about the trials of being put second when the baby's needs came first......oh I tell you ....they are dangerous little critters when they can read and write!
