Ben is packed and ready to go

I bought Ben his own carry on luggage from a garage sale this summer and he has it packed to the gills now and has been wheeling it around the house. So far he has packed:

• 4 pairs of undies
• 6 pairs of socks
• 1 shirt
• 2 swim trucks
• 2 towels
• 1 flashlight
• 2 cars
• 1 plastic fish
• 2 books
• 1 spy listening device
• 2 bionacle men
• 1 helicoptor
• 2 dinosaurs
• 1 bubble blower

He told his teacher he was going to Nepal to go swimming. No comment on his sister no matter how much she prodded him. He did however know there were no beaches in Kathmandu. I am very impressed with the flashlight as I forgot to put that on my list. However I think one of the towels was from the dirty laundry pile. Possibly both. I fear I will have to pry his luggage from him or pack it the night before we go and hide it in the car from him. He gets very insistent on what he packs for travel.
