Taking out the trash, and other news

Hello everyone, I was standing in the kitchen holding Ben, who had a tea bag wrapper. I put him down, and to my surprise he toddled his way over to the trash and put the wrapper in there! Then he took it back out. And put it back in the trash. At that point, I cut him off and washed his hands. But still, I was impressed. It was particularly endearing given how he walks, with his legs fixed in the shape of a horseshoe and his arms up in the air. In other news, Ben had his second bath tonight, and again Jackie was a good girl and didn’t jump around too much in the tub. Ben was fussy getting in, but after that he played in the tub for about 20 minutes until his feet were wrinkly and I took him out. He had a fantastic time splashing in the tub and bobbing up and down. He stood up and walked around too. The light-up duck toys were his favorite part; he showed one to me with such a scream of excitement it almost seemed to pain him. Oh, and Ben ate like ten to fifteen tortellini tonight, in a heavy cream sauce with bacon. Man, he can really put it away. -Don
