While waiting for some SAS code to run, I went over to Blogger and found a few older unfinished entries. This one dates to February 2007. I think Benji looks quite a bit younger even though it's only five months ago.
While Mommy was doing laundry, Benji decided the laundry basket was a fantastic place to play. I just love the expressions on his face in these few photos.
"I'm so cool lounging in my boat."
During this Benji "era" he got to know the laundry basket not as a basket, but as a "boat" and would go to his room and climb in if we suggested he go to his boat. His Pooh Bear was his first mate and had to get in with him every time we played in the boat. When Pooh went overboard, though, that meant Benji was done and was about to go overboard himself.
While Pooh was the first mate, his "bear pillow" (the bear he now sleeps with) always had to be in there as his back cushion. A big part of the game was for Mommy to rock the boat back and forth and sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" or the theme to "Gilligan's Island".
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
