Ben (4.5)

He gets lost in the crowd. He isn't the one who needs attention. He isn't the one who shows off his brains. He isn't the one who has drama on his mind. He isn't the antagonist, the peacemaker, or the decision maker. He isn't the 2 yr old. He isn't the youngest, the oldest or the middle child. He isn't the little mother. He isn't the baby of the family. He isn't the fit-thrower, the show-off, or the doormat. He doesn't ask for a lot of help. He doesn't insist he always do things on his own. He's not the brave one or the coward. He is the sweetheart. He is smart, funny, quiet and loud. He says goodbye at the preschool door without dramatics, but he runs for a hug at the end of the day. He plays well alone. He plays well with buddies. He sleeps well alone, and he likes to snuggle. He goes without dessert to keep from eating vegetables. He is a hugger, a lover, a wrestler. He loves being a big brother, and he loves being a little brother. And he hates being both at times too. He likes to help his mom. He forgives. He is always forgiven. He is a pleasure.
