My 8 Year Old

 My 8 year old.  Wow, that sounds weird!  It is hard to believe that we already have an 8 year old child.  Bentley is awesome Obviously, right?  He is a great oldest and inspired us to have 4 more!

What's he like at eight?  He loves math, reading, typing, ukulele, Legos, karate, Boy Scouts, and tormenting his brother Jake (and sister Viva) on occasion.  He loves to inflict (or try to) his version of "fair" onto his lucky younger siblings, which makes them feel not so lucky.  That same inclination that demands "fairness" also makes him very detail oriented and good with his school work though!

Bentley is logical.  He is helpful!  He is a book worm.  He is very sweet to Lincoln and Evan.  He is sincere.  He has a great giggle.  He loves board games and card games.  Coming up with math puzzles is his idea of a good time.  He is a bit shy but coming out of his shell quicker than I expected!  He still isn't a great lover of variety in his food, but he is starting to show hints that he may one day develop a teenage size appetite.  :)

He's a delight, and I'm glad he is ours!
