Problem solved

A quick little Benjamin story...
On Tuesday, Benjamin grabbed some cotton balls off the bathroom counter while I was showering. I guess they were in reach with the assistance of his little potty. After cleaning up cotton balls all day on Tuesday, I moved them to the back of the bathroom counter so he couldn't reach them even with the aid of his potty. On Wednesday, I heard lots of rustling while I was taking a shower. I peeked out to find that he was now standing on an upturned laundry basket to reach the cotton balls. Just as I opened the door, he reached them and said "Got it" while he waved them around. That little stinker realized his potty was too short, so he went to his room, dumped out his laundry basket, dragged it to our bathroom, turned it over and climbed up. We have quite a little problem solver living in this house!!

Oh, this morning, he cracked me up also...I was working in the kitchen and he came up to ask, "What doing?" That's the first time I've heard a question from him.

Awe, that is so cute! I bet you got a tear in your eye when he asked you "what doing?" for the first time. He is quite the crafty little guy. Mom shared some other stories of him solving little problems in that smart head of his when they were last down there visiting you guys. I love the little stories keep 'em coming!
