Happy birthday to my sweet Bennett. Bennett you are such a joy to have in our family. You are so loving. You give me hugs and tell me you love me all the time! I hope you never stop doing that. You have a kind heart and a sensitive personality. Your Dad is trying to toughen you up a little bit, but I keep telling him your only four. Can you try and not grow up too fast? You act a lot older than four though and even your cousins and Papa thought you were at least five! You love love love preschool and ask me every single day if it's your turn to go. You had a little bit of an adjustment getting along with the kids, but as soon as I said something to you about it your teacher Mrs.Michelle said you are now one of the best kids in the class. You finally started Sunbeams after being the absolute oldest kid in nursery. You sit so reverently and really like your teachers. You also love gymnastics and have so much fun rolling and jumping all over the place. Every week your teachers tell me you are the best listener. Hmmm I love to hear those words. Which you are a pretty good listener at home too. You are starting to assert your independence and can get really mad and frustrated when you want to do something you can't or aren't supposed to. We are working on helping you understand your feelings so you don't get so upset. You love to create things and wish you had an endless supply tape. You write your name really well and we are working on writing all of the other letters. You can easily get discouraged and not want to try something, but every time you do try you succeed. I hope you learn this lesson early on and never give up on the things you want most. You are a typical brother very sweet and then the next second pestering your sisters. You and Kambri still can play so well together and you really do adore Brynn even when she is beating you up:) You love to help me in the kitchen when I am baking. You will stay the whole time and can't wait for the bowl to lick clean at the end. You are finally finally eating better. It has only taken four years. You still have chocolate milk (instant breakfast) in the morning but you rarely finish it because you actually eat other foods now. You still won't eat fruit, even though you drink fruit juice. And you only like a handful of vegetables, but it's an improvement. You must be going through a growth spurt because you have grown a 1/2 inch in 3 months. And you eat all the time and a lot. We are still trying to reprogram your brain that milk and sweets do not count when you are hungry. You are a sugar addict and want it all the time. We don't even really have lots of sugar in our house, but whatever we do have you want all the time. You are still pretty skinny weighing 31 lbs 10% (more than Kambri) but pretty tall for our kids 42 inches 50%. You still get up early around 7:30 and are super easy going in the morning.
Bennett we love you so much and your sweet, feisty, personality. We are forever blessed to have you in our family!
