Helpful guy

Ben likes to help out. He is very interested in whatever his parents do. He even asked his dad especially to read to him out of a book about "scopes." Andy is working on building a (or several) telescopes, and Ben likes to help him out in the shop/sunporch. He also has continued his interest in his mama's textiles, and particularly likes pushing the shuttle through the shed on the rigid heddle loom. He jumps up and down after doing it, then yells "push" "more" to let her know he wants to weave again.
