Sit on your bottom, Benji


Our babysitter, Carol Cox, spoils us. Not only is she charitable with her time, but she is a generous gift giver. For Easter she bought the boys toddler-sized folding chairs. They were an immediate hit with the twins who joyfully climb in and out of them constantly. As their comfort level grew, our smart boys discovered other uses for these chairs, primarily as ladders. Fearless Benjamin moved his chair across the room and used it to climb on the couch. He was so pleased with himself that he rolled off the couch and attempted to repeat his trick. On his second attempt he stepped on the chair’s arm, lost his balance and tumbled to the floor. That landed the chair in time-out for the remainder of the day. Since then we have discussed the purpose of chairs many times and reminded our sons to sit on their bottoms, but we’re no fun.
