Something oh-so-exciting happened at our house today....the ice cream man came!!! To those of you who grew up in the city, this may be no big deal. But for someone who grew up in the boonies and had zero neighbors, this is SO special. Owen and I happened to be outside this afternoon and we heard the familiar tune of an ice cream truck coming down the road. Much to our surprise, he drove right into our driveway! I wish you could have seen how excited Owen was to see a truck playing music. Plus, he got to point to the ice ream he wanted (of course he chose Sponge Bob...the only one with a face). And then, to top it off, I just let him go at the ice cream all by himself (not something he gets to do on a regular basis). But the point of this all is that I really hope ice cream men are around forever. There's just something about it all that brings a smile to your face and joy to your heart...especially when you get to see your child experience it all for the first time.P.S. I had to get a pic of the truck itself just as proof that he actually came into our driveway. There's a first time for everything.

Nostalgia at its peak! Oh such a moment ( :
Honey, that is so awesome. Owen's first ice cream. And the spongebob... priceless.
I had childhood flashbacks just reading this. Although at first I thought you were referring to the Schwans man :-) Super Cute!
Way to have your camera ready for this, and way to let Owen just go for it! You're such a good mama.
