Ben, the big boy

Well, obviously he's a big boy...talks, walks, potty trained and all that fun stuff but can I just hit

*PAUSE*

Just for one moment?

Thank you.

because it's going way too fast.

One day he's getting his first pair of Nikes...

The next, he's playing his first t-ball game!!

He missed one game because we were gone then showed up for the second game and played without even a practice....such a good little athlete.
He should be - his Dad had him batting and running bases before he was 2 years old, lol.

Then he threw us for a loop.
Ben is our cautious child so when he decided last weekend he wanted his training wheels off...well, I'll just be honest and say ((cringe)) I didn't think it would go so well.


And boy, did he ever prove me wrong!
He basically just took off.
Daddy, running alongside...afraid to let go.

We were both afraid to let go.

But had to.


We're so proud of our big boy!

Please stop growing.

...and wearing pants in July...or the long sleeved snow man shirt you wore yesterday :)

Love you Ben,
the big boy.
