Great question...answer Blue Clues....why, again? Great Question - because he really likes it - don't judge me.<br />
<br />
So back to it...Baby Books, and by baby books I am refering to his first year of life book 1 and volume 2 also known as year 2. Now bear in mind before you watch the video that he has read these books (and by that I mean had them read to him) upwards to 794 times, and over the past 200 his participation in the process has been the exact same for each picture on the page viewed... and it sounds like this....<br />

Before we find ourselves at the inflatible heaven.....a strory must be told... we are late getting to the hospital to do a sibling class .... we arrive and we are the only ones there to be greeted by an angry nurse. Why do I say angry, no it wasnt the scowl that she wore, no it wasnt the obvious disappointment to see us - yes I repeat the class teaching nurse was disappointed to see her students, and no it wasnt the general displeasure that she read the story about Arthur going to the hospital to see his baby sister....angry because it happens to be the only explanation I can come up with why any sane nurse would try to scare a two year old about going to the hospital --- as "the first reason why you would go to the hopsital if something were really, really wrong say with your mommy, or your daddy, or yourself" --- I look at Abby and expressively ask - is she serious?....she must have had a horrible morning, car wouldnt start, and when it did she got a flat tire, and when she got to the hospital she realized that she came during the wrong shift, and so she went to grab breakfast but forgot her wallet - and she sat there waiting for us for hours on end, starving and have a very no good very rotten bad day or something like that --- and was thus angry. and thus illogically and unexplainably scaring my son who was about to have a sibling...in the, wait for it, hospital.</div>

Now by and Large we were ok with B doing the inflatibles of his chosing, because after all they are inflatibles and who gets hurt on inflatibles and then he chose the speed racer here....at first glance you might think its tame, I thought it was tame too, until I notice that Benjamin is no longer climbing the steps like they are steps but more like they are a ladder. Now if I was running 40 I would have scaled that inflatible in 4.2 seconds to get to Benjamin before he went off this black diamond of a slide....Am I overexaggerating no. This slide was no gradual decline - it peaked and dropped off like the great speed water slides of new give or take the awesome red car exterior and about 100 ft...am I being ridiculous no...as later this morning I watch a kid do a front flip from the double black drop off right before he hit the moguls and continued flipping and wailing in pain.</div>

The scenario that you are walking into goes something like this, its dinner time and we are all around the table. We are all eating, a 7 course meal per usual with fine cheeses and delectables, your appetizers, salads (typically your choice of 3 - Chef, Caesar, Insalata) and soup (de jour), entrees, desserts and dessert wines included, followed by your coffee and mints.... and then at some point Benjamin will push his plate away from him (well satiated) so that he can have full range of motion so that he can Play the Game.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">And now via modern technology this game has been captured, and now I formally invite you to play along....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

My man, after scarfing 2 cupcakes down in 27 seconds, was a focused outdoor waiter for the neighborhood. He made sure that everyone got there cupcake. And yes he handed them all out just like this, holding them from the bottom ---- no drops. And yes he was the cupcake Nazi - the cupcake he picked for you was the one you got - no requests - no exceptions - no refunds. And he didn't want to stop "pushing" the wagon around until they were out....which was about the same time that this started to go down....</div><br />

True I did make fun of it for the years I was there, and also true I was ignorant of how amazing it was for kids. B loved this place, full of special tunnels and slides, new toys and animals, and rides - not really, no rides beyond the slides - a thank you dr. suess. And one of his favorite sections was the one with the airplane, or airpane as he calls em. Once a terrifying crop-dusting fly-by now turned into this possible new career? - for the thing that once brought tears and scuff marks from the concrete fall now comes this new intrigue, admiration, curiousity, and a hard right turn.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A long trip in new places, new rooms to sleep in, naps that were half of the average many of which were taken in cars produced some built in need to recover which in turn produces a nice picture of a mickey book lean to the face. step 2 exhaustion and awkward sleep.</div><br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And finally culminating in the final stage of both the trip and sleep - giving up. After every trip you know that there is a errand to walmart necessary to restock the house again. So the family loads up and Benjamin in a final cry for peace, in a final cry and offering of defeat - sits. He sits down in the middle of Walmart unwilling to move. just sitting. staring. frozen in need of sleep. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Proud Brother, okay being the 2nd best shot of the chillun. </div><div align="center"><br />

The candy grab, and more. It took him a while to get going. Mom had to show him the ropes with the carting around of the giant pumpkin face bucket and knocking on the doors. trick or treat - wasn't necessary, as the home owners were all mesmerized and focused on something else. B had this tendency to just walk into peoples houses. If they opened the door to give him candy, then they opened the door to their worlds....almost like the cops - if you open the door then they are coming in (that advice was free all you college kids)....anyway our neighbor deter had been spying this action, unwilling to let the likes of a monkey in his house he was prepared. A little back story on this is helpful, you see there is a nurse in the house and we all know that nurses realize the dangers and potential harm and disease that come with monkeys - thus no monkeys or small swinging primates allowed. So If you notice the action done by Deter, a seasoned vet at keeping out monkeys and the like ....step 1 door open but only to the point necessary for your body to squeeze through no more, step 2 slowly push through maintaining the door crack hindering the more agile and smaller sneaks access, step 3 closing the door behind you while using the body as a shield.....well played....Deter was wise enough to bring his re-enforcements to the door as B began his knock and duck in the house routine, garnering the likes of a ferocious guard dog named bailey access was denied, but and this is a big but B scored with the favorite Candy of the Night - M&Ms - the original - good times, first walking trick or treat. enjoy.</div><br />

Imagine a puddle to the depth of a nice baby bath, coming up to the mid-headish region, now imagine that water on the asphalt, and mix in some muddy water, and asphalt pebbles, and a friend and you have the perfect puddle for a jumpin - and probably drain about half of that water out now that your imagination is good and warmed up because that would be playing in a flash flood and SCDSS would get called on us. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Galloping in the rain. In the video below you will catch a glimpse of the 'gallop' - the gallop is one of B's patented moves. When he gets excited he pulls out the gallop which is a half skip, jump, dance move. And since he is a 19month old he gets excited alot about a plethora of things to which the gallop is unleashed on the world. Now as cute and playful as the gallop may seem by definition and description, its a dangerous move that shouldn't be tried by all - for example people with bad hips and/or extremities - you might want to sit this move out....consider this the don't get on this roller coaster if you are pregnant or shorter than 4'8'' warning. Benjamins Gallop, though often used, has yet to be fully mastered, the technical moves and excitement have yet to come into full choreographic rhythm and what you sometimes get is the occasional trip, or the occasional trip half roll which leaves your shirts looking like this when tried in puddles...... </div></div><br />
