NO!!!!!

THE INFAMOUS BENJAMIN

What is it about a four year old that gives them the right to say NO?  So this is the favorite phrase of Benjamin's right now.  A flat down right NO.  He's driving me nuts.  I wouldn't be surprised actually if I found out that Manu is actually skiving off on a beach in Miami somewhere and not actually working as an excuse to escape Ben.  He is driving us both nuts and I think it's because he is completely fearless.  You don't want a fearless child.  Afraid of nothing. Not afraid of the wooden spoon, not afraid to jump in the deep end of a pool even if he can't swim, not afraid to cross a main road on his own.  You have to be one step ahead every time and when you have another child who is terrified of everything, you are actually to tiered to be one step ahead. 

So today I took them to the park in Combloux.  As a treat for bad behavior because I can't exactly say the behavior over the weekend has been good.  But what the hell I needed fresh air, and a trip out of Praz was just what the doctor ordered.

Flowers in the park.
