Our Star Always

This was Ben's week to be Star of the Week at school.  Ben took pictures to share with his class.  He was able to share three items from home:  an acrylic painted Japanese mon (family crest), his shirt and name tag from the Youth Tech Academy, and his Mindstorm.  Ben shared one of his favorite books and Sho and I wrote a letter to Ben that was read to his class.

We joined Ben for lunch and there was no debate on what he'd have for his Star of the Week lunch.  Carne asada enchiladas from Los Pepes.  Yum!  I think the teachers that monitored lunch were jealous.

To cap off the week, he came home from school and pulled out his tooth and now will enjoy a visit from the tooth fairy as well.

This week we've been reflecting on how much Ben has grown up, how he is a hard worker, a creative mind and a tender heart.  He truly is always our star.
