Since gaining a younger sister, Ben has also gained an interest in babies. His baby is one of those dolls for learning to zip, snap, buckle, tie and button. In the midst of playing with blocks he'll suddenly look up as if listening to a sound far off in the distance, then say, "Oh, baby crying!" After he finds the baby he makes a further diagnosis: poo or milk. Then he remedies the situation by either changing the diaper, or like today, solemnly nursing. (After all, there's nothing funny about a crying baby!) He did smile in the picture after this, but this one shows him as he was without my intervention - tired and in a daze. When I asked him if his baby was a boy or a girl his answer was, "No...baby."

Now that is seriously funny. It strikes me that he's got the 'new mother' profile just right: tired and in a daze.
