New wagon from mom and dad

One thing we have found out is that we need to institute a Box-and-1 concept most nights - Being one parent watches the twins (Zone) and the other parent watching Ben (Man to man). I usually, have the task of taking on Ben. This usually involves making sure Ben doesn’t either kill himself or us. Sometimes I wonder if Ben thinks his name is ‘No.’

Last night Ben wanted to go outside and play with his toys so I brought out a chair and just watched up. It’s amazing to see him pick up something and study it. Then he’ll either play with the toy or put it back down.

Another new routine Ben has getting into is going outside at night and looking at the moon. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been out for the past 4-5 days but we still religiously go out back & out front to look for it. It’s usually at 2:00 am when I’m letting the dog out when the moon is out. It is fun to answer Ben’s questions concerning why the moon sometimes is a circle and then sometimes it only shows half. After explaining why the moon only shows up at night, the moon starts to show up on our way to school in the morning. Sometimes you can’t catch a break….

On another note. We have been eating crock-pot creations. This is great b/c things usually don’t get crazy until all 5 of us are there… They all have been great - in particular a chicken recipe where you an use a fork to cut the chicken.
