Today, Ben turned 5! We surprised him by serving him breakfast in bed this morning.
He felt extremely special!
Now everyone wants breakfast in bed on their birthday!
We love you, Ben!

The Starfish
Thousands of starfish washed ashore. A little girl began throwing them in the water so they would not die. "Don't bother, dear," her mother said. "It won't make a difference." The girl stopped for a moment and looked at the starfish in her hand. "It will make a difference to this one."
Happy birthday, dear Ben!
