- This morning I was sitting in the kitchen having breakfast. Bennett came around the corner with a proud smile on his face and said, "Hey Dad, here's your glasses!" (In baby babble, of course). He had part of them in each hand. (His thinking: two are better than one) (My thinking: an optimist thinks these glasses are half fixed, but they really look half broken to me). Bennett must of known that he had to break them this month . . . while they're still under warranty.
- You've seen his dance moves before. But have you ever seen him get funky on the dance floor?:
- Watching music videos of Elmo have become a daily routine for Bennett and I. You should have seen my jaw hit the floor when Bennett said "Ah-Choo" right on cue when the duck sneezed. (45 seconds in on the video below) I could not believe it! So, I replayed it again with Karah in the room. Sure enough, "ah-choo" right on cue! He's got the stinkin' song memorized:
"My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me." - Jim Valvano
"By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong." -Charles Wadsworth

"My father instilled in me that if you don't see things happening the way you want them to, you get out there and make them happen." - Susan Powter
