I may have missed a post that explained the Ben and Math situation? THe regression is very normal under stress and you're a good mom to indulge it. Ammo does it by watching old movies- I noticed this weekend as the play ended and grades came out (although somehow the grades haven't made it home yet--hmmm!) and swim season picks up, that he was watching not the usual bloody stuff but Beauty and the Beast. He needs a lot of down time in his room where he reads or writes or draws away from everyone. SOunds like Ben is doing the same kind of comfort activity. I used to play with paper dolls-even up to high school.

I used to have a trunkful of Legos. This was back when they were "pure" - no odd shapes, no little ring-footed Weebles, no wheels. Just interlocking blocks in easily grasped mathematical ratios. I built many a strange thing out of them. I do remember using them and a rubber band to build a crossbow-on-a-pedestal with which I used "deuces" - two holes long, one wide, one/quarter unit thick - to torment my kid sister. They wedged very nicely between the round pegs, so that the rubber band could be stretched behind one and then it could be flicked or teased loose. Twoiing! The best one is the one I bounced off her forehead into the bowl of Lucky Charms.
