Posted in conversations with Ben, sleep on 11/13/2009 09:16 am by beckyIn the car on the way home:
Ben: Wow, they are right! Counting cows totally works. I was just counting cows and I got super sleepy. Even yawned.
Me: What? Counting what?
Ben: Cows.
Me: Um Ben, usually people count SHEEP. Not cows.
Ben: Yeah well, that’s stupid. Counting cows is much more relaxing.
Me: laughing. Really? How do you figure?
Ben: Think about it Mom. A sheep goes “BAAAA!” and that’s such an annoying sound. It’s like a string being plucked. “BAA!” But “moo” makes me calm. Sounds almost like a yawn.
Me: Moooo-awn.
Ben: Exactly! Mooooo-awn.
Me: more laughing. I like it.
Ben: You’re going to blog about this, aren’t you?
Me: Possibly.

Kids have the best imagination and logic. Ben is no exception! Darling story. My favorite part was him asking if you were going to blog about it. Elle asks me the same thing. The only thing better than kids are….absolutely nothing!!!

Counting Cows is one of my favorite tribute bands.
