For the Record

Benjamin's teacher told me a couple of weeks ago he'd been crying every time he had to poop. She had been sitting with him as he sat on the toilet and he cried the whole time. Jacob knocked on the classroom door and said, "Is that my brother crying?" The teacher said yes, and asked if he wanted to come in. Jacob went and sat with Benjamin and talked to him. Benjamin stopped crying and didn't cry anymore after that.

It's wonderful to hear things like this. In daily life at home, they are typical brothers, fighting over toys and pestering each other. :)
*********************************
Benjamin has been doing a lot (even for him) of gibberish lately. Really fast, hard-to-say sounds, like "skba-skidda-skidda-skidda-skidda." And then a silly grin that makes us crack up. :)
