My American Boy

I took Benji to Murray Park to take some pictures (see my photography blog for some flower pictures). I lost my keys while I was there . . . yeah, what else is new? This is my favorite picture of the session. He's so cute! I was 'called-out' the other day for leaving Benji in the car. I ran into the Mav to get some beverage, and I had parked him right in front of the door so I could see him, and when I went to pay, someone was telling the cashier that there was a child left alone in a car. I told her I knew he was there, and he was okay. I knew I shouldn't have left him (and I swear I won't when he decides he can walk instead of having to be carried everywhere), and I was a little huffy that someone I have never met told me that what I did was not okay, but it was my fault. I should have brought beverage with me, or I should have taken him out of the car. I have gotten lazy. Food for thought. Another thought--the new Arctic Circle commercial with the chick making the shake . . . what the heck? It's not just lame, but it's weird. I don't get it. I'll update you on the rest of this weekend's drama tomorrow. Love ya!

Very cute pictures. Also, someone was upset about a kid alone in a car at a gas station?!?!?! I mean, even with long lines, most people are in and out in five minutes. No kid is going to overheat in five minutes. I remember sitting in the car while my mom went into the grocery store. I'm glad that's no longer a common occurance, but I think people go overboard sometimes in their quest to make sure everyone is being as safe as possible at all times. ok. rant over.

Gas stations are the biggest issues I have with this ridiculousness... Who has the time and energy to take one (or two or three...) kid(s) out and go in to a store for only minutes while they whine about what you're not buying them?
Fox 13 news just told all Utahn's to call 911 IMMEDIATELY any time they see a child alone in the car.

Awesome.

Some of us aren't stoopid moms who will leave them in there unattended for long periods of time. Way to ruin it for everyone, evil moms. **We spent our fair share of time in the car as kids if I remember correctly...
