Hard to believe, our little guy is 17 months old. The time sure has flown by. Bennett brings so much joy and laughter to our lives. He is talking up a storm. He says everything from his auntie and uncle's names to numbers and colors. He loves his hockey stick and swinging. Another favorite toy is his baseball tee, bat and ball. I think he must say "ball" a hundred times a day. He loves routine. Even at night, when it's time for bed, he likes things done the same way every night.
Being a parent has definitely changed me, but it's a change for the better. I am constantly reminded to find joy and delight in the small things, and have learned that dirt and crumbs on the floor won't alter my son's future, but quantity time, playing with him will.
My little, baby sister Holly is growing up. I am slowly accepting this fact, although acceptance doesn't mean I like it. Well, let me rephrase that. I love her growing up. We have so much fun together. What I am not sure I like is her learning how to drive, getting hit on by boys (back off, boys), and being so busy with school and soccer that I hardly ever get to see her.
The real reason for this post though, is to brag on her a bit and share my excitement of her exciting soccer team. Holly made the Morton High School Soccer team, as a freshman. She starts at Center Mid and is a key player on the team. It's been so much fun to go to the games and watch her play. She is a natural out there. I've posted some pictures from one of the games. Most of them have Bennett in them. That's not unusual though. All that said, "Holly, I love you. I am proud of you and GO Lady Potters".
