Dear Bennett,

Today, you are five and a half! I can’t believe how quickly you are growing. You are growing up faster than your siblings! I think that’s what happens when you are the youngest.

You are a great problem solver. You love to cook and eat all kinds of food. Your favorite pastime is creating unique and complex structures with your MagnaTiles.

What I’ll remember most about this time, though, is that you are my little buddy. You get out of school a few hours before your siblings during this bonus year, and we are having a great time together. I’m going to miss you like mad next year, but you are such a grown up guy that I know you are going to love every adventure that’s coming your way!

Happy Half Birthday, Buddy!

Love you,
Mama
