Benny turned 4 this month and got his dream of having a "Cheetat" cake. "Cheetat's" are his favorite. I am not really a cake maker. It always takes me way too long and I usually give up towards the end. I asked my friend Sarah who is a fantastic baker if she could make me one and she did an amazing job. It looked so real and Benny was thrilled. It was also really tasty too, so that was win.
We love this sweet boy so much! He has been such a blessing to our family. Some things I want to remember about Benny at this age:
- He's obsessed with animals. His favorites are cheetah's, tigers, sharks, wolves, red pandas and monkeys. He is always sleeping with a stuffed animal.
- He loves to read books, especially books about animals and his favorite show is Wild Kratts.
- In the last year he has become so much more independent. He was finally potty trained in the fall and can now do it all himself. He shares a room in the basement with Jack and gets up and dressed on his own for school every morning.
- He loves to patronize his sisters, especially Ruby. He loves the screams that he gets and then acts all innocent when we ask what he did.
- We are still working with him on speaking. He can't say his R's, Th, among a few other sounds. However, he is much easier to understand now and even strangers understand now.
- He loves school and rides the bus every day back and forth. It picks him up at 7:15 am every morning. He can now step up onto the bus without too much effort. He loves his teachers Miss Emily and Mrs. Claus.
- He still takes naps every day. (Hooray!) which he really needs after getting up so early for school.
- He's a little stinker some days, but gets away with a lot when he flashes his cute little smile at us.
- He is such a good brother to his little brothers and is going to be a great example to them one day.
