My middle child


I feel like I don't get to say enough about my guy Bennett. It is really hard to be in the middle of this bunch. I think as a Mom you are always concerned with trying to make sure you give all the attention you can to each child. It is hard though to make that even. I love this guy. He is so funny, and he either has me ready to cry or laugh so hard I am crying. He keeps me on my toes and does a good job making sure I am busy. He is so fun. He loves to run and play. He loves being outside and is a master at finding dirt and covering himself with it. He gets so excited to do what the big kids can do. I hardly ever see him sit down to eat. He is so mighty in such a little body. His little voice is the cutest thing I have ever heard and he has the best smile. I love his little dimples and he is as handsome as his Daddy. He loves to be tickled and cuddled. He loves a good book, any type of cars, and lots and lots of trains. He is into carrying around a backpack right now. He fills it to the rim with toys, cars, trains, and anything someone else was playing with. He carries this thing everywhere and I am pretty sure it is at least 10 pounds which is half his body weight. When he wears his church clothes he tells me he is a king and he loves to be spiderman.

I feel like I missed so much of him being a baby because I was pregnant and having another. Right after Brinley was born things are a little fuzzier in my memory of what he was doing at that time. The poor kid has always had to compete with everyone else here. But he has his own way of making sure we see him too. I love this kid so much and I wish everyone had a Bennett because trust me you would have a lot to laugh about. He is such a sweetheart and I could just sit and squeeze him all day. I love being his Mom and I wanted to let you all know how cool this kids is.
