Shortly after Benjamin started preschool I signed him up to do some testing at the UW. I signed both kids up for optional testing there when they were born. Josie did a hearing test back when she was around 1 and being so busy with both kids I always had to turn down their offers of testing when they called. Finally I got Benjamin in for a test about sharing and friendships. It was very odd to say the least but Benjamin had fun. They took his photo at the start.
Then he left me and I could watch him on a little monitor as he talked about sharing these little bears with a "friend" he had never met.
Then they had the "friend" and Benjamin meet up and swing on these little baby swings for a few minutes... it was strange.
Then he and his new friend played a game together
I'm sure there was more to the test but the women doing the testing didn't really tell me much. Benjamin got to keep the little plastic bears that he had been playing with so he was thrilled.
And I promised to take him out to lunch after the testing. He said he really wanted french fries... a rare treat. So we headed toward The Ram and as we walked in Benjamin asked the host if they had french fries, the guy said yes and as soon as we sat down brought Benjamin a plate of hot fries.... before we even ordered. Benjamin was very happy!
Then he had his first ever milk shake. How is it that he is 4 1/2 before having a milk shake. His favorite thing to do with ice cream or frozen yogurt is to let it melt and then drink it so in essence he has had one before but this time it came out ready to drink - no melting time required. Chocolate shake and fries... yum!
Happy, happy boy on a sunny day!!
