Ben Update

I feel like Ben has grown up so much in the last few months.  And not just outgrowing his pants and shoes. 
After wrestling ended, he decided his next sport would be swimming.  We haven't done official swimming lessons for a couple of years, so I just put him in at youth level 1.  It was too easy, but he enjoyed it.
He passed!  So this week I'll be registering him for Level 2.  We are thinking about swim team for all the kids this summer.  Going to see if our expert Anne Ducey can get them all ready over spring break to pass the placement.

Ben has also become obsessed with READING!  Best thing ever!
He is reading every morning when I come in to get him.  He is taking books with him to read in the car.  Yesterday he had me check out all 9 books in a Dave Pilkey series so he can read them all.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this kiddo.
When we came home from the library yesterday, he just plopped down on the floor of the laundry room and started reading.  He read book 1 & 2, skipped 3 since he has read it, and started on book 4.
