"Children are not lumps of clay that a mother can mold and shape into whatever she thinks would be best. They are seedlings...already pears, pines or petunias. As gardeners, we can add only sunshine, water, fertilizer, time and love in order to make that growing plant the most beautiful specimen of what it was intended to be." -Linda J. Eyre

My Beautiful Ben
When I came up to bed Sunday night I found Ben asleep, laying in our bed. He's had a fever for the past couple of days and hasn't been feeling very well. He had taken his pajama shirt off because he was too hot. I grabbed the camera and snapped this picture of him laying there. Then Aaron climbed into bed to snuggle with this "perfectly plump" little boy and I just couldn't resist taking some pictures. Hopefully Aaron won't mind being seen in his garments, no one really reads this anyway, it's more just like a journal for me.
People say "thank heaven for little girls", (and I'm sure that's true) but tonight I'm thanking heaven for my Beautiful Ben. I love his chubby little lips that are always eager to kiss. I love his big, beautiful brown eyes and his little tough boy body. He is simply scrumptious.

That top picture is perfection! Thanks for sharing. Oh, and hope Ben feels better soon. My girls have been tag-teaming me for almost three straight weeks now. No fun for anyone:(.
