One of Ben’s birthday gifts was a t-ball set along with a set of bases. Steve’s been teaching him to run around the bases after he hits the ball off the tee.
The other day, Steve and Ben were out in the back yard, and Steve asked Ben what we should name his baseball field. “Should we name it Ben Field?” he asked.

Coming from a little boy whose favorite song is Old MacDonald Had a Farm, it made perfect sense.

Finally…
If you ask Ben what he’s been doing lately, he’ll tell you he’s been “riding the Potty Train.”
