On Sunday, due to the blustery and rainy weather (and also due to Greg having a gift card to The Cheesecake Factory), the three of us took a trip to Bellevue. We wanted to get out of the house for a little while and give Ben a chance to roam around and explore, and also partake in his favorite activity of all time - escalators!!
Next up we stopped by the play area, which is almost always a zoo at Bell Square. We had only been there for about 4 minutes when Ben walked up to a little rock structure he wanted to climb on. There was an older kid on it, and when Ben made an attempt to climb aboard, the kid growled at him. Ben looked up at me with nervous eyes, so I said, "that kid is pretending to be a lion - what do lion's say?" After a few more tries to climb, and a few more growls from the kid, Ben moved on. (He tends to respect his elders - kids anyway - and didn't want to mess with him).
The very next thing he tried to climb on he slipped off of, and bonked his face. Ben immediately looked up at me and said, "Done, mom. Bye-bye" - and walked straight towards the exit without even looking back.
Over. It.
I kind of love how Ben is not one to put up with any drama. A kid growling at me and a bonk to the face? Movin' on.
