graduation

Looking back

I get a lump in my throat

that is impossible to swallow.

So I will write about tonight

and not dwell too long on the thoughts of baby Ben....

sweet baby Ben.

Tonight was a milestone evening

five years

and just like that

B graduated from Pre-school this evening

he goes to Kindergarten in the fall

Baby Ben goes to Kindergarten.....

sweet baby Ben

We all wore our Sunday best

B sported a tie for the first time

He walked into my bedroom after Dad-O helped him get dressed

and I could not believe how old he looked

My baby Boy

He danced his little heart out

sang at the top of his lungs

we were so proud

of our

 sweet baby boy

he walked on stage with his brown leather shoe untied

smirked at the crowd while Miss Collisha tied it back up

and proclaimed 

"A CONDUCTOR"

after receiving his medal and being asked

"what do you want to be when you grow up?"

Our baby boy gave his unique answer to the crowd

sharing his thoughts on his future

not mocking what others said

proving to us

yet again

he is one in a million

our baby boy

and our little miss joined him

cheering him on from the audience

responding so preciously and patiently to

"it's B's night tonight, yours will come"

And it was his night

our baby boy's night

Happy Graduation Baby Boy Benjamin
