The ice cream man is quite savvy. He drove up to the playground at the Park and he just parked their for 15 minutes. The music played its alluring tune even during temporary lags in business, giving kids a chance to beg their parents for money, I guess. Eliza was happily playing when she noticed kids run for the truck. She insisted on getting ice cream too. We tried to stall her for awhile because we don't carry cash very often and the ice cream man doesn't take debit cards. Finally David came up with a dollar and Eliza took off toward the ice cream truck. She excitedly picked an ice cream treat from the menu posted on the side of the truck. How did she know just what to do when she had never before seen an ice cream truck? She gave the man her dollar and she and Sadie shared an ice cream sandwich.
We all remember the joy of getting a treat from the ice cream truck when we were kids. Its fun to have little ones to remind me of the little pleasures of life. I love to see their smiling faces when they are having fun and experiencing new things. Toddlers are the best!
