… Scowling at injustice with a big, big sense of right and wrong
Here Ben is very upset that he is the only boy in his group. He says his teacher did the WRONG thing.
… Sulking every day on the way to school complaining to Mom about girls and telling her how much you hate them
“I don’t want to go to school, Mama. I hate girls.”
… Singing your lungs out in the shower and doing the boogie woogie while at it
The noisiest part of his day, and mine
…And staging a water battle for German and American soldiers while you’re at it
Drowned comrades
… Needing to look cool all the time
So the sunglasses need to match the outfit…
…Wanting – not a pet dog, a pet kitten, but a pet JAGUAR
Security blanket every night
… Making a mess with your Lego and turning a deaf ear to Mom’s nagging about bricks hurting her feet (like, who cares?)
It’s painful? Really? If you stepped on a brick?
… Being extremely creative, with tons of mischief up your sleeve
Making Running Man nametags and making himself a spy
…Wanting many moments of being all alone to create something massive
“Leave me alone to make my Lego,” so says someone
… Leading the pack
“Shall we play MAGIC TRAIN, guys?”
… Having no fear
This is just a vampire. What’s so scary?
… Having intense conversations with friends, and wanting to be with older boys
Playing BrainBox with Gabriel, his bff for now
…. Monkeying with Mom and loving every minute of it
Ba ba ba… ba ba NA NA!
6 years ago, this boy entered my world. A leaking water bag and almost 14 laborious hours later, I met the gentlest, sweetest, baby who came to rock my world.
And rock my world he did. Every. Single. Day.
I love you, Son. Every. Single. Day.
