A Day in the Life of Benjamin Fritz

Benjamin often has really good days here.  Of course, he has some not so good days but for the most part he is really liking life here.
Last week Marty picked Benjamin up from school and they ate lunch in the school cafeteria just like old times.   On Thursdays I have German class until 1PM and he gets out of school at 1PM so I sense a lot of these cafeteria Dad and Benjamin lunch dates in the future.
On Thursday they had pancakes for hot lunch.  What??? Yep, pancakes with maple syrup cooked in.  Along with fruit flavored quark which is pretty much like yogurt with fruit jam.

 He was in heaven.  He also has library day on Thursdays and got a new library book.  He is really really into reading lately which makes me SOO happy!!
Then his best friend, Clayton, came by the lunch table.
And then later in the day before bed he enjoyed our fancy whirlpool tub.

Happy, Happy Benjamin.  Until the next morning where he currently fights the 7:00 AM alarm clock.

This is what he looks like most of the morning... Growing is part of it, I'm sure.  Most of his pants become too short overnight.
