Benjamin, 4 year update

Benjamin is a growing boy.  He is such a doll and is growing up so quickly.  It's hard to believe he'll be going to Kindergarten next year.  Here's what he has been up to:

- He is loving school.  He is in the Penguins class at Apex UMC Preschool and loves his teachers, Ms. Mary Lou and Ms. Pam.  He is even enjoying Lunch Bunch on Wednesdays.

- He tried tee-ball and liked it, but at the end of the day, he's a soccer STAR!  He loves the sport and enjoyed playing on Coach Alan Buck's team, the Yellow Jackets, this fall.  He scored several goals and was thrilled with his progress.

- Benjamin's favorite shows are Paw Patrol and Puppy Dog Pals - and really anything with cars, trains, or tractors in it!

- He LOVES transformers toys right now and we're in the phase of "I want that!" at every commercial he sees. 

- He is exploring boundaries to see what he can get away with.  And this includes using "potty" words (to him that's "stupid" and "fart" and those kinds of words).  Just the other day he called his sister a "Baby Fart Rat" - and while name calling is not a good thing...I did laugh a little.  I call him my little Sour Patch Kid because he can be really sour and then turn on the charm. 

- He adores our pastor, Pastor Tim, and looks for him every Sunday at church to get a high five.

- Special friends - Brenner Mickey, Hudson Buck, Hudson Steeves, Sims Arant, Carter Liberto

- Started swimming over the summer (7/20/18)
