Ben

Ben is out of school for 3 weeks now. Monday we made a ginger bread house (or at least a graham cracker, cardboard and hotglue gun version). Ben enjoyed making it. Mostly he liked the huge bowls of frosting and candy which he had complete access to. Today Ben dropped a large wooden cutting board on his big toe. OUCH! That has slowed Ben down ... a little. Mostly he will be wearing sandals for a while until it heals up. Ben is getting excited for Christmas. His Christmas list he wrote at school includes roller skates, a skate board, a snowboard, and a reindeer (he said he wants to feed it lunch....). Ben continues to do great reading. It is very fun to listen to his progress. Ben has taken to writing love notes to our family. He has a very loving and affectionate side. Ben will start playing basketball at the NAZ church in January and keeps telling me he needs to be eating healthy food for his basketball. It is always fun to watch Ben do sports. He normally plays the whole court. He is kind of a one man team. His current favorite sport is soccer and due to the rain the past few days, he has taken to playing soccer with a small ball against the wall in the kitchen....and to think we have 3 boys.... Anyway, we love our sweet Ben and are grateful for him.
