Dear Ben,
Happy birthday to you!
 |
| You're a whole hand now! |
You had been waiting for your birthday for roughly 364 days and were so excited it was finally here! The big day started out with passing through your streamer-decorated door while it was still dark out to find your favorite cereal (as requested) waiting for you atop your special-day plate.
 |
| two bowls of big bites and you were finally full |
Then it was off to a fun-filled day at preschool where you got to share the cupcakes we made and decorated the day before.

After school and playing with our neighbors, Daddy got home in time to help you finish up a puzzle while I made the gourmet feast from the menu you planned out
(that would be dinosaur chicken nuggets, spiderman mac and cheese and some celery with peanut butter and salad to round things out)
followed by a happy-birthday serenade!
  
You are now our big boy
with an amazing imagination that creates the most fantastic plotlines of stories, games, and even your dreams at night,
a silly sense of humor that only you really "get",
and a super smart brain in that sweet head.
(first homework assignment!)
While you've gotten a little more "boyish" this year in a rough and tumble, potty humor, guns and swords kind of way, you still give us plenty of hugs, kisses, "I love you"s and cute conversations. And we'll take the occasional crawling into our bed in the middle of the night anytime!
We love you Ben!

Precious! It's hard to believe it's been 5 years already! I remember reading your blog and looking at his precious pics when I was in Israel which was 5 years ago! My how time flies!
It just gets better and better every year with this sweet little boy! He is so much fun! That last pic sums it up. I can hear him laughing
