Something new to cheer Ben up!

Ben hasn't been acting like himself (we are wondering if it is allergies or if he isn't feeling well). It just happens to be a warm and beautiful day out today, so I decided to try something new to cheer Ben up. I took him outside and put him in his swing but instead of a regular old swing ride, I mixed it up... I started the sprinkler and let it soak him while riding in his swing. I couldn't tell if Ben loved it or hated it (Ben's scared expression and his laugh tend to look the same due to his facial palsy). After about 10 minutes of scared/happy, I decided to call it quits because we were both cold. This is when I knew Ben loved it! He was ALL wound up when I put him down. He was rolling around everywhere SUPER FAST and was playing in his exersaucer like it was a jumparoo! I must say, I felt like a kid again getting soaked by the sprinkler and it was quite refreshing! I've left the sprinkler out so we can try it again tomorrow - weather permitted.
