Here's the deal.

Dear World,

We have no choice but to let you have this little guy. He is too smart and too curious and too awesome for us to keep him contained and fulfilled.
So, we are sharing him with you. But there are things you should know.

He is a sensitive boy. He has a depth of feeling and understanding that most adults don't even have.

He is full of love and kisses and fairness. He will not cut your kid in line and he will not disrespect you. He has been raised better than that.

He likes to wrestle and play hard, but he is not capable of bullying. He needs down time, quiet time, peace. Just give him some cut up red peppers and a movie about dinosaurs and let him chill.

He remembers everything, so if you tell him he can have a blue popsicle next Tuesday, by god you'd better have that damn blue popsicle or he will call you on your lies and you will deserve it.

He has healthy fear. It keeps him from jumping off the roof but it isn't so much that he is a prisoner of it. He will take risks, he will go out of his comfort zone, but he needs to be able to do it in his own time. If he's not ready, back off.

All that being said, perhaps the most important thing for you to know is this: his aunt is prepared to kill you if you hurt him.

Love,
Amber

Geez, what happens when he brings a girl home? Just kidding. This is an awesome step for Ben!! His independence will shine and his creativity will excel him to do amazing things; see amazing places and be just like his Aunt Am. :)
