Benjamin: A Boy for All Seasons

We all know that Benjamin is a boy of letters and culture--he loves going to the ballet, the theatre, the museum and the library;



he enjoys the arts.



But did you know that Benjamin is also a boy of science? Lately this has become increasingly apparent.

For Ben’s birthday he received various pieces of sporting equipment: golf clubs, a baseball bat (with ball and mitt), and a fishing rod with mechanical fish. We also bought a new kiddie pool for the backyard. What do you think Benjamin uses these items for?

Science experiments.



Even Ben's plastic gardening equipment like rakes and shovels are not used to imitate Daddy's landscaping anymore--Ben wants to attach them to the handles of a wheel barrow and see if he can push it using these tools. He is always thinking, setting things up, and experimenting.



I know some of you have worried about Ben's future--with his pirate obsession, his intense interest in bats, or his plans to attend Santa Claus school (to learn how to be Santa). Now you can rest assured that he has a future in science to fall back on.



He truly is a boy for all seasons :)
