Ben has really started writing fearlessly. I remember this stage well with Julia--she would write and write, not caring about spelling, just enjoying the process of writing. Unlike Julia, though, it seems to have happened all at once with Ben. Like the artwork thing--previously he had very little interest, then it just exploded. He wrote me two letters the other day:
Dere Mama Hw r u luv Ben E
Ben E Mama I lv u (and then he drew a heart with an arrow through it. Got to have that arrow!)

While I was writing this, he came in and told me that he's made up a poem: (it's about galoshes, but you have to read it "goo"lashes)
Goolashes, goolashes, how I love my goolashes;
Goolashes, goolashes, how I love my goolashes;
Goolashes, goolashes, how I love my goolashes;
I love to wear them in puddles and in the rain!
