So we are laying in bed. Ben says, "Whose butt is that?" and I say, "that is my tummy"... :(

fibber

We have a fibber. I guess we will have to start dealing with it pretty soon. It's pretty harmless so far because he has not figured out that lying about what one of us says while standing in front of both of us is not really effective.

Imagination

Ben has started trying to figure out what is real and what is imaginary. Also what is good and what is bad. These are some very tough questions sometimes. I think TV makes it harder to explain the imaginary because it is somewhat 'real' if only because you can see it. Then there is the whole thing about his own imagination and if he asks if monsters are real and you say no and then he imagines one in his closet, what do you do with that? It's tough but it makes for terrific conversation.
