Fox in Socks with Ben!

So today I was reading Seuss's Fox In Socks to Benny, and was delighted to find an entire section that had a Seuss character named Ben in it!!!

Bim comes.

Ben comes.

Bim brings Ben broom.

Ben brings Bim broom.

Ben bends Bim's broom.

Bim bends Ben's broom.

Bim's bends.

Ben's bends.

Ben's bent broom breaks.

Bim's bent broom breaks.


Ben's band. Bim's band.

Big bands. Pig bands.

Bim and Ben lead bands with brooms.

Ben's band bangs and Bim's band booms.
Boy, when he's old enough to understand that, he is going to think that is just the coolest thing!!
There's even a little Seuss character wearing a turtleneck that has "Ben" on it. How awesome! It makes me want to scan it and make a poster out of it for his wall!
Hey, that's a great idea!! Man, I never thought having a child would be this much fun...last night, after I fed him I sang Ben a jaunty little song I made up for him called "The Burp Song", which IMO is meritorious of its own post some day (he loves it!), and then he seemed alert and awake enough to play some on his Ocean Wonders play mat. I gave him some time on his back, looking up and batting at the little dangly things, and then some tummy time, which he loved. I got some really cute pictures of him to add to his next Picasa web album. It is such a joy to experience his world through his eyes - everything is so new to him, and watching things dawn on him and seeing the synapses in his brain fire is just so exciting and miraculous. I just love it!
