We had a play date at the park yesterday with some new friends. Ben was having a great time and running around like crazy. I was watching him and chatting with my new mommy buddy when I heard Ben say, "Mama? Stuck!" I was watching him the entire time, and he appeared to be trying to climb up on the park bench, so I thought he was telling me that he couldn't get up there when he said stuck. So, like any good mom who wants to encourage their kids, I told him to keep trying and he'd get it. A few seconds later, I hear, "Mama? Stuck!" again. This time I go over to look a bit closer. What I saw had me grabbing for the camera to capture this moment:
That's right! He was, indeed, stuck! He put all of his fingers through the holes in the bench, then when he flexed his hand they got stuck :-) After pausing to take his picture, I was able to get him loose just by getting him to unbend his fingers. It was a totally priceless moment!
