the onlookers...

and more onlookers...

all in all, he did a great job of eating. especially the ice cream, considering he had no utensils and had to pick it up with his fingers. everyone kept waiting for it to get messy, but it never really did. and thanks to g'ma tigard, who gave him lots of extra frosting, which perhaps was the reason he woke up at 5am the next morning. thanks.
