A Trip to Ohio
Last week Ben and I flew to Ohio for a few days (this flying with Ben stuff is a piece of cake now, even if he does refuse to sit down in his seat!). My brother Arn is getting married next month and his fiancee, Christie, was having her bridal shower and bachelorette in the Cleveland area. Ben had so much fun spending time with my family and it was great to get to meet my brother's future in-laws and Christie's friends. Within a few days, Ben figured out who we were talking about when we said "Halmoni, Grandpa, Uncle Arn, Uncle Jim." He now calls my mom "Halmo." My parents indulged him in letting him pretend to drive their cars, logging a few hours in the driveway of their house. Ben has become completely obsessed with "driving." He has even learned to say "drive" although it comes out more like "die." It's a little unsettling to have an 18 month old walk around the house saying "die, die, die!" as he pleads with us to take him outside to the car. In one of the pictures below, you can see him signing "more" while sitting in one of those mall rides for little kids. This was after six rides!
your flight sounds like it went better than mine.
I think it is a riot that your parents sat with him in the car for an hour. too funny.
