Learnin’ to like it.…

There comes a point in everyone’s life when you’ve got to learn to tolerate some necessary things, like getting used to bathing in a natural hot spring. At the ranch, we have the “cool bath,” a moderately warm pool that is especially attractive to kids. Benjamin got his first dip in the pool yesterday, and so far seems to put up with it without a fight. I hope he gets used to this kind of abuse; he’s got a whole life ahead of him to try anyway.

Lucky kid.

Poor kid, has to get bathed. I hope he didn't hate it too much. I also hope he didn't pee in the pool, but we'll never know.

I was going to mention that, the peeing in the pool, but decided against it. After all, when Ben grows up and views these old blogs along with his wife-to-be, it would simply be too embarrassing.

She'll look at the pictures and say "you were so cute! What happened?"

Actually, I think he'll be cute forever.
