I was walking with Ben the other day & he says to me:

'Mom, I appreciate snow.'

'Oh? Why is that?'

'Because you can make snow angels, and snow balls, and snowmen with rock eyes & a carrot nose & then when it melts you can jump in the puddles!'

Later on, he said:

'Mom, I appreciate the sun. It's so bright and warm. I appreciate trees, because they give us sticks, and logs to climb on'

'Ben, I appreciate you!'

'I appreciate you too, mom'
