I am sitting here in my office, listening to Ben watch Snow White on DVD. True to form, he is not watching it like any other kid. No, he is currently watching the Queen/Witch transformation scene over and over again. In french.
For more than a decade now he has been orbiting my life like some strange and wonderful sattellite, and I am still amazed by his capacity to surprise me. He has picked up a new hobby in the past few weeks. He kicks his own ass. It takes a little effort, apparently. He gets a running start taking long strides, and then lets his right leg swing back completely with his knee totally bent so that his right heel hits his backside.
That's a sight to behold, people.
I suppose my life would be a lot easier if Ben was like other kids. But then again, it would be a heck of a lot less interesting.
