I like it, too. It feels like a little holiday to me almost. Ever since the Little Muffin was actually a little muffin, we've kind of made a biggish deal out of it. We'd walk down together, he'd come in the booth with me when he was little and help me work the bigassed lever machines, and we'd go home, get pizza or something, and watch the returns.
Now my little baby gets his own booth (not as cool as the big curtained booths that you get with the lever machines, but still) and his own sticker.
