The same weekend that Cherise did her show-stealing acrobatic act, Ben came to visit us overnight. What a love! Of course he has to be watched constantly, even after the house has been cleared of ALL child maiming accessories. We have installed child-proofing latches to the most harmful cupboard and liberal amounts of duct tape to the others. Recently we’ve changed to a new sort of lock, ones that Wendy and Zach use and brought with them the last time they visited. Things should be a lot easier now.
Ben was constantly playing with a stuffed lion we bought a month or so ago. We were teaching him what a lion says. By the end of his stay we would say, “What does the lion say, Ben?” His response, “Rowwwwrrrrrrr!”
Also, Karen would sit him on her lap and sing the Eensy Weensy Spider to him. Yes, Jess and Brian, the Eensy Weensy Spider! None of that Itsy Bitsy nonsense. You can see the progress in the pictures below.
Almost as cute as you granpa! What a dolly boy.
LOL! I soon as I saw eensey weensy spider I thought “they are teaching it wrong” 😛
AS long as it has the same tune though lorelei will dance away so there is still hope for a cousins band when they are older.

It is hard to describe the joy Grandchildren give – Savour every minute
P.S Peter and I have been married 55 years today — How about that – and yes I know I don’t look old enough !!!!!!!!!
What a cutie… Wyatt and I sing that together at nighnightime.
We just got this great book from the library, called “Itsy Bitsy The Smart Spider,” which is, like, the sequel. Itsy gets a job at a local convenience store and saves up to get an umbrella, and then she doesn’t have any more trouble with that slippery spout. Pretty funny.
What a cutie-pie. We say “eensy-weensy” too of course.
Well, I opt for eensy-beensy
