Just thought I'd drop a line to check in. Since this whole thing with my hands got bad, I haven't been feeling up to a whole lot. But as it's improving, and the dermatoligist appointment comes closer, I've been getting back into a better frame of mind.

Ben is learning at an alarming rate. He has already figured out what he is not supposed to do and if you catch him in the act, he will quickly put everything away and scramble down and look at you like "what? I wasn't doing anything"

I have simply decided that he is basically bored. So we got him one of those interactive games for the TV and that at least helped last night. Along with a specific chair for time outs, though we haven't had to use it yet since we just got it last night. I know from the day care ladies that he understands time outs.

Other wise it's kinda SSDD. Nick is looking forward to going to a friend's bachelor party in August and I have a grooming expo that month too. The only question with the expo is if I will go for one day or go for two and participate in an all day seminar. Biggest hold back is it's 99 dollars to attend the all day one.
