Wow! You are six. Sometimes I'm amazed we made it this far and kept you alive and well this long. You are my oldest kiddo and I know with that comes a lot of me making mistakes with how to do things with you. I'm extra grateful for the mercy and grace God bestows on me and you with our relationship.
You've had some ups and downs this past year, with an awesome trip to NYC that you loved and then unfortunately being hospitalized for a nasty virus. You started kindergarten and you blew through your math curriculum in a hurry. You climb and fly and can charm the pants off of anyone you meet.
Your favorite thing to do is to rattle off the Dinosaur A to Z song from Dinosaur Train sometimes as a duet with your brother. You have such a thirst for knowledge of dinosaurs that I'm sure you know at least 100 different species. Your favorites are the sauropods.
You are the best big brother as you help your younger siblings out with things they cannot do, but also in that you look out for them too. You also are a really good friend and try to include them always in your play schemes.
You started to be more adventuresome this past year, whether it be in foods, or taking a class on your own, or trying a new sport out (soccer). You even have been more open to trying some new movies out like Inside Out, Land Before Time, and Pete's Dragon to name a few. You have the most excellent memory when it comes to playing out scenes of whatever movie or show you have watched is.
Thanks for being you, we might not always understand each other , but I am so glad that God had me be your mom. I don't think I would have grown as much as I did in the last 6 years if I didn't have a you. So thank-you. I've enjoyed this time we get to spend together and learn about each other and from one another. You are an excellent Benjamin, even if I am biased in saying so since I am your mama. I hope you grow in this next year to be an even better Benjamin than you are today. I love you to the moon and back.
Love,
Your Mama
