pumpkin patch.

This weekend we took Ben to a pumpkin patch and we took a couple home. It was a good time.
"Go Tigers!" And Rainey and her big head. See her ears back? She knows she's in trouble, yet she's still naughty!
Being Ben.



On the tractor ride back to the front of the patch.
Ben wore underwear all day. And the only accident we had was once in the morning - at home. We managed to keep dry to the countless places we went that day: pumpkin patch, Rob's work, the Commissary, Old Navy, Profitt's Porch, and Belk. It is still a slow work in progress, but we're at least a *little* interested. I tell him that when he figures out this whole potty thing, he will be rewarded with the toys he had from Lolo and Lola's house.

It seems we barter a whole lot more these days, and rewards and punishments actually work in terms of Ben obeying. Is that bad? It's bribery. Shouldn't he just want to obey his parents all the time? Shouldn't he just be grateful that he has a nice home, parents, a dog, friends to play with?!?! None the less, it sure helps during those times he wants to act against me or Rob. Eh, what can ya do?
