Ahhh, latkes....

Happy First Night of Chanukah!  Ben's big present tonight was a V-Tech Inno Tab, which beat out the competition (the LeapPad) for three reasons:  (a) It has better drawing resolution.  (b) We don't need the camera, because Ben already has one.  (c) It was available.

Here are his exact words after he opened it:  "Well, I would rather have a cheese board."

[There's a backstory on that one, but I'll spare you the details this time.]

Anyway, once he realized that he could watch ABBA videos on it, he was much more enthusiastic, as you can see here:

Cheese board?! Wanna hear the story...

I agree with Fethiye!

Okay, okay. It's actually not a terribly interesting story. A friend of ours recently bought a house, and we have a cheese board that we've been meaning to give him as a housewarming present. Ben has been coveting this ever since we acquired it -- he keeps picking it up, gazing at it fondly, and asking, "Is this for me?" No, no, it's for Steve. We have no idea whence this fascination for the cheese board. Anyway, a later Chanukah present may restore some order to Ben's universe, if you know what I mean....

Happy New Year!

And, for the record, cheese IS delicious so anything that delivers cheese is clearly worth coveting.
