Oy Vey

This morning when I was giving Ben breakfast he did something delightfully charming (mommy-speak for totally annoying) - he put his whole hand in the oatmeal making a huge mess. I responded with something that one of my Jewish friends has gotten me saying during times of crisis - "Oy Vey!" For some reason Ben thought this was hilarious and started laughing uncontrollably. Not just a giggle or a chuckle, but a belly laugh where he couldn't breathe and he had tears in his eyes. Every once in awhile you can get him into a laugh like this and its completely amazing. 

At dinnertime, Ben was a little crabby from a combination of being tired and hungry. The camera was right there and I thought to determine whether this morning's reaction to "Oy Vey" was really the phrase or just being silly. Well, you can be the judge...You'll also notice about halfway through he keeps looking behind me at the door asking for Daddy. Aw, cute!!
