Today was a sad day.....the last day Ben will "Walk Around the Sun" at school. He picked out his best friends to help set up the sun, then (because he was the birthday boy) he turned of the lights (which apparently is a huge deal when you're 6 years-old, then everyone sang the song while Ben walked.....Benjamin walks around the sun, around the sun, around the sun, Benjamin walks around the sun and now he's 6 years old.



Before he blew out the candle he had to say something he wanted to achieve now he's 6 - his response "to practice riding a 2-wheeler", then I had to say something (which I managed to do without crying), I said we are all very proud of Benjamin and we will always love and support him. Then it was time to blow out the candle.



Last night we had to bake cupcakes for all the kids at school - all 75 of them - it took forever, but was worth it in the end.

Ben helped hand out the cupcakes (he gave himself 2).



Before the kids can eat, they have to wait for the teacher to say "bon appetite, now you may eat"....I was amazed watching Jonathan waiting patiently.
