Today Ben got into the marshmallows unauthorized before breakfast. He came and confessed to me before I caught him. He has figured that this is the way to get in the least trouble because I almost always find out. I told him that he couldn't have any more marshmallows today.
Later, he walked in the room with a big cup of marshmallows.
I said, "Ben, you were not supposed to get any more today".
He said, "No, these are for YOU!", holding out the cup to me.
I said, "No, you're going to eat them." Take out the contraction, and I was saying 'you were going to eat them' (an accusation), he heard 'you are going to eat them' (a command).
He said, "OK, I'll eat them."
I started laughing, and he got to keep the marshmallows.
In other news, Sam is scheduled for another eye surgery in July. This isn't a big surprise, but I was hoping we wouldn't have to. It's the other eye (left). The good news is that his vision is still very good, and improves drastically when we make him wear the patch regularly. They do this cute little picture vision test at the opthamologist, and Sam does so well. He thinks it's a fun game, and I think he's so smart! Also, next time you see him, he may be sporting a new toddler size lime green walker (the real kind, not PVC pipe). I chose the color. I think he'll approve. His physical therapist things this may be the thing to get him walking. She wants to have him walking everywhere with the walker...no more crawling, ASAP. This could be a rough summer.

Ben is too smart! Yeah for Sam's new walker! Good Luck with that. You'll have to send pictures with the new ride. How did the injections go?
It's so easy to give in.
I'm excited to see the walker--cool color!!
Don't you love it when our kids make us laugh like that? I've given in over things like that too, especially when they can make me laugh. Can't wait to see the walker--I bet he'll love it!
