Benjamin turns 7

Just before Benji's birthday at school, all the first grade classes put on a Bugz musical. It was really cute. Benji's class were ladybugs and they sang 7-8 songs and each had lots of poems memorized too. He did such a great job.
Here they are doing the firefly song.

We bought a dining room table and chairs and the kids made a giant box fort that they continued to add on to for the next several weeks. I think it was much bigger than this at one point.

We had to take Benji to his yearly cardiologist appointment and looks like everything is fine with our bouncy boy (even if he doesn't look too happy with me here).


I brought treats for Benjamin to share with his friends after school since they don't let them bring them into his class anymore. He was so happy to celebrate with his friends.

Opening birthday presents never gets old. 
For his cake, Benji requested an oreo ice cream cake (just like his daddy). 

I love this little bookworm. He has all the sudden taken to reading and writing stories and I love to hear where his imagination will take him next. He's done such a good job at finding his place in our new school and loves all the friends he's made. His teacher constantly tells me what a joy he is in class and that he is always kind and a helper. Benji loves weapons of any kind, loves to play pretend and to wrestle. He is our silly little guy and I'm so happy to watch him grow.
