the kids

First, a quick picture I took of Ben yesterday. He let his Phillies cap stay on his head for a record 2.2 seconds. It's worth noting, because he hates anything on his head (I'm anticipating trouble this winter when I try and make him wear his knit beanie). Notice also how crooked the hat is. He doesn't let me adjust it or fix it or make it look good. So I should be happy with what I've got here.


Here's a kind-of-lame video I took today of Ben and Sophie. Not anything out of the ordinary. Sophie is so good with him.

There is a moment about 23-25 seconds in where you see my unabashed dorkiness that I have with Ben. It's hard to contain my smiles when he's smiling and laughing and enjoying life so much. But because I'm a cynical, jaded adult, I don't always allow my inner child to come out like it does when I'm with my son. I figure I can leave that part in and you won't make fun of me too much. If it's worth anything, I still get red and break out in a sweat when I watch the clip.

And my favorite part is about 45 seconds in, when Ben realizes he's got Sophie's fur in his mouth.
