"Mommy!!

Watch this!" I hear this a lot lately. Benjamin picked these words up from a child at the park one day. He then realized that I would watch what he was doing if he said it. "Mommy, watch this!" as he climbs to the top of the bars at the playground and my stomach turns. "Mommy, watch this!" and he throws the basketball into the hoop, yay! "Mommy, watch this!" running around the house doing strange dance moves. "Mommy, watch this!" tossing a ball into the air and catching it in his arms, so proud of himself. "Mommy, watch this!" strumming the guitar and singing a Raffi song from his CD. "Mommy, watch this!" placing a strainer on top of his head and singing the Silly Hat song from Barney. So MUCH to watch and I'm so glad to be able to.
