why is ice cream so much fun?

is it the presentation? the colors? the taste? maybe it's the thought that someone took extra time, extra time to finish off a great dinner, a happy birthday, a sore throat. add it on a cone and it becomes really exciting. this one was hand made by sean for me as a surprise (before the flu knocked him down).





it was so much fun! there is just something about sitting around eating ice cream cones. ben caught on quickly that everyone had something cool except him. in seconds he had tears and total sadness. i persuaded jason to give him the rest of his, reassuring him that ben would just sit and eat it...not rub it on the wool rug... he rubbed it on the rug and thought it made crawling way more fun. we hurried up and switched it with an empty cone and had serious doubts. he fell for it! he smiled and laughed had his treat right along with us.
