Six years ago, on a chilly January afternoon, Benny finally made his appearance and a welcome one it was. He had a head full of dark silky hair and cheeks to pinch. Six year later, he is passionate and tender and full of life. He tries my patience, speaks to my heart and amazes me with his creativity.
He already received two presents early, lucky little boy. He received a brand new, shiny white 20" bike from my parents. It is all sorts of lovely and so completely well made that, should he treat it nicely, will grow with him over the next two years. Tyler was a bit jealous but understood he could ask for one on his birthday too. And then, he sweet talked Matt and me into giving him his Battleship game. We caved and he jumped for joy. He shares his emotions so freely, the good and the bad, but his smiles are always genuine, which make them that much better!
I have a few more "surprise" gifts to wrap for that birthday boy of mine. He makes me stretch and grow each day and encourages me to become a better person. A better mother.
He is excelling so well in school. He enjoys math and loves any type of art. Benny is always up for drawing something and loves to share his art work with anyone who wants to see.
He can ride his bike with no stabilizers.
He can build a lego structure like no other.
He loves to flip around and cartwheel through the house.
He loves to rock out to a good song.
He adores zipping down the road with the windows rolled down.
His favorite restaurants are CPK and Pei Wei's.
He loves to be outside playing with friends.
Happy sixth birthday my sweet Benjamin Jack!
