We found a leaf pile down the block from Lisa’s this afternoon. Ben and Orion went kind of bananas. They were both soaked by the time Orion’s mom and I convinced them to get in the cars to go home.

When we got in the door, I told Ben to take off his shoes, go in his room and take off his pants so I could change him into some dry ones after I got done putting the camera away. By the time I was done putting the batteries in the charger and stowing the camera, Ben was standing in my office door in a fresh pair of pants. He’s never spontaneously self-dressed before, so that was pretty cool.
