Why does Ben want to squeeze himself between the chair and the couch? He has done this at least 214 times per day since learning to crawl. Inevitably, he gets his head or chest stuck and starts screaming to be rescued. If he's not trying to squeeze himself into ridiculous spaces, then he's heading for the dog bowls or making a beeline for the opened refrigerator or the bathroom. He could hear the refrigerator opening from across the street. And, oh...the bathroom. How he loves the toilet. He prays to that toilet like some kind or religious zealot. He worships the toilet...he crawls to it, pulls up to stand by it, peers into it, squeezes himself behind it. Does his alarming interest in the toilet mean he'll be easier to potty train than his brother? Probably not.
My children are a mystery to me. I have hundreds of unanswered questions. A later post will involve my questions about Danny and the potty. Something along the lines of...why does Danny need to be forced to use the potty? And a follow up question of...am I harming him in some way by telling him that little boys who don't use the potty might get eaten by green aliens? Just kidding, but I'm almost there.

Perhaps Ben doesn't realize how big he has gotten. In his mind he can fit in very small places. No comment on Danny. He has a relative not too far removed who was a lot older than Danny before he came around. But I don't want to name names. (You do realize boys are slow about some things, right? Bob
It's only when he starts taking a book in the bathroom with him, that you have to worry!
Welcome to blogland! Let's see some pictures! :)
