The duplex we rented wasn't ready for another two weeks after we signed the contract. One of Mike's coworkers was going out of town with his family and needed someone to watch their three cats. He had heard me complaining about not having laundry or a real kitchen or room to move around, so he told us that we could stay at his place as housesitters while they were gone.
Not the greatest photo of Ben ever, but it shows Calvin lording over the other cats who actually lived there. He was a total bully. It was so embarrassing.
Ben wrapped up in a curtain.
There were a couple of days where Mike was on the road but the homeowners came back while Ben and I were still there. Ben liked the company, and he liked staying someplace with a yard he could explore.
Our friends' daughter didn't seem to mind Ben being around. She was nice enough to share her toys and snacks.
Ben's not the only one who can hide in a curtain.
I think Ben liked watching someone else do this more than he liked being the one hiding.
His obsession with keys and keyholes began when we got to Germany.
That's Mike's car key. Ben has figured out how to put the key in the ignition. But when the car's not available, a door will do.
Our friends had also recently moved to Germany, and all they had was loaner furniture from the base: no TV. Mike's laptop came to the rescue. Ben even sat through some kind of Barbie Princess DVD.

is that Charlie's daughter?
I love the key stuff....you know how damn smart your child is~~if Ben can figure out how to drive ya'll's car at this age, he will, LOL!!
Yep, that's Charlie's daughter. She is a pistol. I watched her for a few hours yesterday and she informed me that my house is a "messy mess." About Ben's smarts: he has officially mastered using our new DVD player, and now all he wants to do is pop in every DVD we've ever owned for like two minutes before switching them.
