What a guy!

I bought Ben a book for his birthday --- a book we already had. Oops! He looked all through it with full interest for a number of minutes before he reminded me that we had purchased it three or four months ago.

This happy smile wasn't even jeering at me -- nice chap that he is. I got a good laugh out of the whole thing. What a flub! Here are some more birthday smiles:

That's hilarious. How nice of him. At least you know you got him something he really did want! :) Dead on! What was the book? Looks like a happy time. :)

It was the latest title in the James Gurney series on Dinotopia. They are picture books about what life would be like if humans and dinosaurs existed side by side.

I so relate to this post. I'm shocking myself lately with how utterly forgetful I am. (Anyone in there??) It's almost scary!

I was lamenting with Mom Cloward just the other day at the things that pass me by because I am just too tired to keep up. This was one more ... silly, silly!
