The Light Switch

Benjamin loves to turn things on and off...and tell you, "It's on!" or "It's off!" He probably thought he had struck gold when he found a light switch at Uncle Gabe and Aunt Emily's...a light switch at the absolute perfect height for one little man!

Emerson walked up to see what was going on...

"It's on!" Benjamin told him.

"Wow! I want to do that..." Emerson told him."Uh-oh..." Benjamin thought...we've already been through this...It was Ok...Emerson was just watching...Benjamin continued to check out the switch and figure out which way was on and which way was off..."Mimi, Benjamin won't let me play," Emerson told me.

"You boys share, OK?" I said.

"BEN, it's MY light switch! I want to do it, too!" Being agreeable, which is his usual nature, Benjamin was happy to share the switch with Emerson.

Emerson enjoyed turning it on and off, too...and each time he did, Benjamin would check out the light..to see if it was working correctly...

"Mimi, it's ON!"

I know, Benjamin...Off and on...

On and off...

Off and on...

After awhile, Benjamin took off.

"Hey, where are you going?" Emerson asked.

Benjamin just grinned and took off...not answering his cousin.

He headed straight for the fan...

Emerson quickly left the light switch to find his cousin...

Uh-oh...another place where there had already been some issues...but, so far, so good. The boys took turns turning the fan and turning it off...

Until Emerson didn't want Benjamin to play with it...

Benjamin...he wasn't sure what to do!

Ahh...Emerson saw something outside and off he went...
Benjamin was happy to have the fan back!
