We headed to the Great Pumpkin Festival downtown this afternoon for a couple hours, and accidentally had perfect timing and ran into Ben and his mom Nicole, my colleague and Bea's piano teacher. The two "flaming oranges" were the cutest on Main Street and it was obvious as always that Ben is the most patient sweet friend one could ever ask for. Ben and Bea have been friends since Bea's earliest beginnings here. For some reason though, my daughter's social skills spiral seriously downhill in his presence, and he patiently tolerates her ignoring him, putting her fingers in her ears when he talks, burying her head in my legs or, a few minutes later when she's comfortable, she moves up to meowing at him, running away from him, ignoring his talking to/at her, bossing him around something terrible, and smiling the whole time. I think they just may be a match made in heaven.
"CHEERS" to you Ben!!! Thanks for hanging in there with my confusing little girl!
