A Sunday Update . . .

Ben, Rob, Caroline and myself have some kind of cold that is a combination of everything (coughing, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat) and though it is annoying and hard to get rid of, it doesn't seem to be too intense, so we all feel kind of okay. Just with coughing. We went to church anyway, and Ben was a good as gold. We sat in the middle of the church instead of our usual back row seats, and he happily kept quiet and played with his koosh ball the whole time. He seems to be over all of his fears, though we haven't been to any amusement parks since Busch Gardens. He actually likes escalators now, and elevators no longer bother him. He went into a bathroom with Katherine and Caroline and myself and he was perfectly happy! Before this, he'd start crying anytime we went in one. So I guess he trusts us again. :-)
