Ben is definitely one to just take situations into his own hands! One instance - this morning I told him I would set up Bob the Builder on the computer as soon as I finished washing the produce. About 3 minutes later I turned off the water, dried my hands and turned around to only see Annie in the living room. "Ben?" "I'm in the computer room!" When I got there, he had the game started! He explained how he had stood on the chair, found the disk in the bag on top of the 4-drawer filing cabinet, opened the cd-rom (also on top of the filing cabinet, so there must have been some standing on the desk - forgot to ask about that one!), took out the cd that was in there, put in Bob and clicked on his icon to start the game. We've only played this twice before! If he can do it himself, why should he wait for me to come and help??? Of course, during these events, I also lost the picture that was my wallpaper and all my icons in outlook. Guess it's time to logout each time I leave the computer...
This is also the little boy that when I tell him we can make a cake/brownies after _______, he goes to get the handmixer, a bowl, eggs, cake mix box, oil, a wooden spoon, and the scissors to open the box. Somehow I don't know how he does this all so fast! However, he also occasionally picks up ALL the toys on the floor - even if he didn't play with them and I'm not helping. He's just a little do-er. I need to remember that's a good thing - especailly when our "doings" are not consistent with one another...
