Happy Birthday Ben
Today is Ben's 19th birthday. Wow! Where has the time gone? He's all grown up! Back when Ben was little and learning to read, I would send him to Jimmy (who is 4 years older) when he had trouble with a word. I helped too, but I thought it would be a neat thing for Jimmy to be able to help Ben. Soon though, Ben passed Jimmy both academically and cognitively. In a way, he became the "older" brother. Ben has stayed sensitive to Jimmy's feelings with this and has made sure that he doesn't "boss" Jimmy, but behaves more like they are of equal age. Ben is a caring brother to Jimmy, Caleb, and Elijah. He has really bonded with Elijah and Elijah just thinks Ben is the greatest! Caleb stills call Ben "Bun" which I think is so darn cute! So Happy Birthday Ben, we love you!!
