a lil' bit of me

My Ben is 4 today.

I took him on a little date today, just me and him, we went to Starbucks (I did get him a hot chocolate) and we went to the dollar store, they give you $5 when you go in on your birthday.

I told him he could have any toy in the store, (sounds impressive hey??). He took an agonizing 20 minutes, and finally decided on a $1 toy. I told him that he could also get something else, but he wasn't interested. We got up to the till, and the lady asked him if he wanted a balloon. She was very nice, and used such a sweet voice, and my boy said, (in a grumpy tone) "no."

I think he must have thought that it was the balloon OR the toy, I don't know. He is sure a different kid.
