Ben is one of the smartest, funniest, eloquent, and sweetest children of our times. He reads, he writes, and he colors inside the lines. He even smells people before the walk in the room. He's come a long way from "These cookies are disgusting! Don't ever give me one of these again!" (flings cookie to floor) He uses words like "nemesis" and ensures that you pronounce "rooT beer" ("NOT 'Root' beer"). He sings Kanye and does all kinds of crazy dances. He morphes into a pterodactyl at church and attacks passerbys. When his mother tells him she'll be downstairs in 2 seconds to pour him some pop he descends down the stairs and stops 1/4 of the way to announce "By the way - I believe it's been more than 2 seconds now"...And he loves to get ready for bed because he can gaze lovingly at himself in the mirror as he makes faces that ironically remind me of favorite scenes from "Calvin and Hobbes".
So it is no surprise that we are celebrating his graduation from Kindergarten and his first of many successful school years (Grades were summa cum laude - no big deal.)
