Ben = 7
Today is Benjamin’s 7th birthday and, as I always try to do on my kids’ birthdays, I am going to write a short post about him.
Ben was born at the tail end of a huge RI snow storm that had our front door snowed closed. The night of his birth involved a lot of snow, a lost camera, a hitchhiker, a rude and impatient doctor, an imminent C-section, and a very last minute answer to prayer for a non-surgical birth.
Ben has always been my most serious child.
Seriously smart. Seriously loveable.
Seriously silly.
He used to be little.
But he’s not all that little anymore.
I love you, Benjamin Bear! I love the way you love your baby sister, how you look up to your older sister, and how you respect your brothers. I love your smile, your hugs, your laughter, your curiosity, and your helpfulness. I love how your specially unique personality fits so perfectly with our family.
Happy Birthday Big Guy!
Love,
Your Mama and the rest of your family.

Happy birthday super cool Benjabuddy!
Happy birthday to Ben! I would have said this yesterday, but for some reason your posts after the last one I commented on are not showing up in my Google Reader, and that’s how I follow you. Urgh.
