Ben 10 +1



Well 11 years ago today one little shrimp came into the world just a little early.


One Day Old!

Since then he has grown into one amazing young man who I adore and am so very very proud of in many ways.

Ben has had a hard year both mentally (SAT’s!) and physically but has always carried on with his relentless smile & only a small about out grumblings.
There have been lots of achievements this year – 2 Karate Grading’s , Swimming 400m!, Going swimming ON HIS OWN with his mate to make but a few.

In 2 days time Ben will leave Primary school to head off the great unknown world of Grammar school, he is excited & nervous as we both are but this is a challenge we are both ready for (ish!).

He has an amazing group of friends who have been there through thick & thin and I’m sure there will be there for him at Grammar School.  I can’t believe how much he has changed in the last 6 months alone, to say we are proud is a huge understatement, and his finally school report reflects just how far he has come both academically & physically.

So to the Summer – a well earned trip to St Louis to see Dr Park & all at St Louis Children Hospital.  We are so looking forward to them seeing him & also so we can pick their brains about the concerns we have with Ben.  One thing is for sure this has a whole different feel to the last time we went.  The finally bonus is we are heading off to Orlando for a spot of Disney Adventures & cheeky dolphin swimming.

What more can we say but Thank You to all for you for helping Ben get to were he is now & who know where he will go next!  The Skies the limit!
