Josh and I took Ben to the park the other day and I asked Josh if he got Ben's hat out of the car. He explained to me that he did not bring the hat because there was another child's name written in it. Of course he yelled this across the park and I could hear the sound of about 20 necks snapping to look at us. They wanted to know what a child's hat thief looks like. I loudly replied that we bought it at a resale store and thus I did not deprive some cute little two year-old of his sun protection. So then they knew that we were no longer thieves. Now they know that we don't pay full price at the Gap.Yesterday for Mother's day we had brunch with my family. We got Ben dressed and in the car and then noticed that once again he was hoarding food in his cheek. Our little hamster. He eats something but keeps it in his mouth for a long time until finally he spits out the completely mushed food. Let me tell you how pleasant this is. So yesterday we knew he had a tomato hidden in there and I was dreading the mess that was going to make. He held onto it for about an hour and even kept it in there after we got to the restaurant. Finally once some food came to the table he got that look on his face, so I knew it was time and before I could get out of my seat and across the table to lessen the damage, he stuck his finger in his mouth and pulled out the perfectly intact cherry tomato. He had it in his mouth for over an hour and never even bit it. I can't tell you how funny this was. What a weird kid. It's obvious that he's mine.
