Funny little story:

OK, I guess there's 2 little stories.

We were walking home from my cousin Shelby's baseball game last night, andwe met up with this tiny older lady out walking her dog. Ben had approached them first, so we were telling him to go slow with the dog (which he wasn't!), and she told us that the dog was fine with kids. She was this scruffy looking little thing, both the lady and the dog. Ben decided to move on without us, so as we were saying our polite goodbyes, the lady looks in the stroller at Ella, then says, "She's beautiful! No wonder you keep having more!" (points at Ben and nods at Ella) We laugh and say thank you, and she says, "Cheerio then love!" It was a bizarre, but funny little encounter.

This morning at 7:30, I can hear Ben crying out. I go into his room, and he still seems like he's asleep. I ask him what's wrong, and he says, "I lost Auntie!" (I think he was referring to Great Auntie Susan (Shelby's mom) - from the baseball game last night). I told him that Auntie is an adult and that she can find her own way home. He seemed alright with that!
