Careful what you say.

Ben has a good memory. But, it's just something I figured out recently. He now remembers things when I say, "Maybe later." or "Tomorrow we'll go swimming." Until recently, he would forget and I would get out of doing whatever he was asking about. Yeah...those days are gone. I told Ben yesterday about the Bugs! movie at the Wildlife Experience. Actually, I was talking to Scott about how much Ben would enjoy this show, since he is obsessed with all bugs, and Ben overheard us talking ~ so I told him, "Maybe we'll go see that tomorrow." Yes, you guess it. First thing this morning, Ben runs into our room, hops on the bed, and says, "Yeah, yeah, it's morning time! We get to see Bugs! movie today!" Oh, shoot! How did he remember that? Darn! So, Scott and I talked about it and we decided it would be a good morning activity. We headed to Wildlife Experience to catch the 10a showing of Bugs! on the IMAX screen. It's actually a great show and I would recommend this to anyone with little ones...Ben is three and sat through the whole 45 minute movie. It's not scary or icky and it's really informative. I doubt Ben cared about the informative part, but he did seem to enjoy all the creepy crawly bugs.

Lesson for today: Ben has a really good memory. I must be careful about what I say now and mean it if I say it's going to happen tomorrow! :o)
