"Ben Turns 6!"

Ben turned 6 yrs. old on Sept. 19!

I can't believe how fast 6 years goes by.

As time passes, I can tell for sure that the first

born always holds a special place in a mom's heart.

I can still remember the first time I held him, the

first time he smiled at me, the first time he said

mama, and the first time he said "I love you, mommy".

There's just nothing in the world like it.

So here are the

"Top Ten Things that Ben has taught me"

10. I actually enjoy watching "Spongebob Squarepants"

and find myself laughing at it often.

9. A hug and a kiss really does make a boo-boo feel better.

8. Chocolate ice cream and chocolate milk should be considered

a food group.

7. The pain at the dentist or the doctor is always worth the prize

you get after it's over.

6. Digging for worms is a sport.

5. Wrestling with your brother is also a sport.

4. Going to the movies is all about getting SNACKS!

3. When you get new shoes, you can run faster.

2. Laughing together uncontrollably is good for your health

AND so much fun!

1.5. If you keep asking mom for another hug, she will keep coming

back into your room...delaying the "going to sleep" process.

1. Spending time with your family and playing together is the

most important thing in life.
