Happy 5th Birthday Benaiah

Happy Birthday Benaiah!




The Lord has been so good to us! Benaiah is doing extremely well.  He is 15 weeks seizure free! He can peddle a 2 wheel bike with training wheels! He is talking more but I can tell his pronunciation is bad, I seem to have fallen into the role of translator.  We talked about his birthday all week. He wanted a Rudy (from Ice Age) cake.  This Rudy had to have his mouth shut and then when it was made, he asked why he couldn't talk.  My friend Denise and I informed him we were not the Cake Boss and couldn't make a cake like that.  For his birthday dinner he picked pizza! Overall it was a very good day and I believe he had fun.  I think he would of opened presents all day if we had them.  

This is my post from facebook - Look how much you have grown Benaiah! 5 years ago I never would of thought of all that you have been through, all that you have accomplished. You have drive and determination, more than I have ever seen in a child. Benaiah, your name means God has made and I truly believe that he made you the way you are. I thank God for the sunshine you bring into our lives and I am also amazed at how God has used you and continues to use you. I love you Buddy, I hope you had fun at your party and that you have a great 5th year. I pray that the seizures stay away and that you will say I love you this year, along with many other words. I know you are smart and I can't wait to see what this year brings.

We love you Benaiah!
