| In trying something new, I tried something old. Looney Tunes has magical powers over grandchildren. |
 |
| Ben helped Papa feed the birds. We thought boots would be helpful in navigating the ice patches. |
 |
| The birds were appreciative. |
 |
| The boots did not help. |
 |
| This was not a skill Ben was mastering at all. |
 |
| There were no tears once we watched the birds from inside the house. |
 |
| Back in the day, I tended other people's children. In this new century, I invited a friend over for a play date. Ben was in heaven. Samuel had fun, too. |
 |
| Ben resisted naptime for quite awhile today. His need for sleep became obvious during an afternoon snack. |
 |
| After a successful nap, we all went to Claudia's. Ben loved her toys and didn't want to leave. |
 |
| I know what someone is getting for his birthday. |
