I know that all mothers think their child is the cutest, smartest, best baby in the whole world. However, I really think I may have given birth to the Eighth Wonder of the World. Not only can Benjamin now wave hello and give high-fives, amongst other darling talents - like laughing after he burps ... I think I may have inadvertently taught him that, but that's a story for another day - but let me tell you what happened at Walmart last week...
It was my coupon day - ya know, you gather coupons, compile a list, then painstakingly walking through the store, comparison shopping price per ounce, 100-count and so on. It took almost 2 hours and by the time we left I felt like my eyes were going to pop out of my head. But I did save over $27 with coupons! woot!
Also, interestingly enough, I left with enough hair care products and chocolate to last any sane person an entire year ... I started to take a picture of all the compiled chocolate, but it was just too embarrassing.
But I digress. Back to the Eighth Wonder of the World.
Throughout our two-hour trek through Walmart, sweet Benjamin jabbered and giggled and kicked his feet and chewed on his toes and waved and high-fived ... the
whole time, I'm telling you! It was amazing! It was so cute, I would conservatively estimate that 60% of the people we passed paused to look at, talk to, chuckle at, tickle, or otherwise interact with him. That's part of why it took so long - we had to pause for our public.
In fact, we caused two separate cart collisions when people who were distracted by his cuteness ran into other people's carts.
I'm not even kidding about that.
And so, I ask you, could it possibly get any cuter than this?
If he gets any cuter, I really think I'm going to explode.
