Benson

Benson is doing a great at school.  He is starting to really pick things up.  I am so pleased with his progress. He has a few friends in his school that I convinced to go there.  It has made a BIG difference. He is still behind in his speech and might always be but I am so glad that he is starting to build a support network for himself. I am really nervous for when he goes to kindergarten. I don't think that he is ready.  He has a hard time writting his name, and can't count to 10, and doesn't recognize a lot of the letters.  We work and work and work at this.  I am so worried.  I just have to trust that all will be well.  I love that little boy so much my heart bursts and I just want to keep him safe and protect him.  I want him to stay little!!
He just turned 5 and that was hard on me.  He is growing up to fast.  He is an awesome little buddy and a joy to have around.  We went swimming for his bday and he had 8 little friends.  They had a great time.  He has 2 little girls that he really like.  And he had to have them sit right beside them.  Wouldn't it be funny if he married one of them?
