Excitement

Ms. Charlie, aka the Director of Children's Ministries at church asked me today if Benny would like to lead the children in the procession on Easter Sunday. This means he will wear vestments and carry the cross and whatnot. VERY COOL. What, Benny? Want to lead? But he's such a shy, timid little thing, so eager to let others show the way... Yeah right! He practiced today with the cross.... have to learn to carry it straight up and down and not like a stick horse or something. So we will practice with a broom. :) It should be cool -- he told everyone who would listen all about it on the way out of church. :)

Another Benny story:

Benny was at Ahno's and she had a neighbor over. Benny was in his uberpolite, senatorial mode and shook the guy's hand, saying, "Hi, I'm Benny. It's so good to meet you!" Later he was interrupting urgently when the guy was talking about dogs, and Ahno said, "Benny, hold on a minute" so the guy could finish talking. Benny left the room and came back carrying a sign that said, "I have a puppy too." Hehehe. That's my little hyperlexic chickenhead!
