Eye Kwee

A few weeks ago, when the weather was nice, we walked down to the Eis Cafe (like an ice cream parlor) in our village.  Ben calls ice cream "eye kwee."  He says it a lot.

It's very serious business.

He liked the strawberry but also wanted to try the lemon that I got.

It takes him a long time to finally bite the cone.  And when he does, it takes him a long time to finish eating it.

At some point we just started walking home and let him keep eating.

Fast forward two weeks to last week.  It's much colder, and Ben (finally) got a haircut.  Just about every day he asks for ice cream.  Sometimes we give him rainbow sherbet.  On this day Mike took him back to the Eis Cafe and got him cherry.

He's such a cute mess.

I want to be the first to buy Benjamin a banana split! Probably at the Jigger Shop at Mount Gretna here in Pennsylvania. He'd be sticky from his head to his toes and be even sweeter than he is already! Love, Dad
