Now it's Ben's turn!
Ben sleeps on the top bunk of the boys' bunk bed.
He loves music. He likes to sing in the car; at home (and in the car, too) he'll nod his head and move his body to the music; and he loves to put on music concerts with his siblings, too.
Ben continues to be our hesitant and apprehensive one.
He saved up his birthday money this past year to buy his very own hamster (Sammy - as seen in the picture).
Sensory issues are prevalent. He dislikes bubbles, the feeling of sand, toothpaste, how the changing of the seasons brings about a change of clothes (i.e, from pants to shorts... from short sleeves to long sleeves, etc.) and the "difference" that feels on his skin, he hates "sock bumps", and on and on. Due to these sensory issues, he has a terrible fear of the dentist. And due to that, we now have some dental issues to somehow deal with, too. (Praying for wisdom and big answers to prayer on this one!!)
Ben loves to give tight hugs, and will squeeze you as hard as he can.
Although forever known as the "second born" and "one minute younger than Nate", he is a good inch taller than his older brother.
His favorite color (for now) is light green.
Interestingly enough, he has acquired a dislike of cheese.
He has one eye with a tiny bit of green/brown in it.
With a little bit of help, he is conquering the /r/ sound. The speech therapist at school was more than thrilled with his progress. Way to go, Ben!
He has proven that he's a fast runner!
Being "Baby B", he is the one who was born with a perfect, round head. And to this day, he and Nate's head shape are different.
Even though we are dealing with some frustration-generating issues right now (as mentioned above), my heart goes out to our sweet Ben. I love him with all my heart (as only a Mommy can) and for who he is and how God has made him.
