Ben has always been pretty good at math and not much is slowing him down this year. He is getting a little bit of pre-algebra thrown in there so he&#8217;ll probably be ready for that next year.<\/p>\n<p>Benjamin does just as many extras as everyone else, he just tends to be our background man. He has started helping behind the counter at Connections and that has been very useful. He runs our slides for church. He has weekly Royal Rangers and karate. He says he likes karate and didn&#8217;t want to do basketball this year. Their teacher challenged them to do 100 pushups a day so Benjamin has some reminders in his phone to get those done. We had visits from Gram and Diltz grandparents and he is really good with little guy. All our kids have to take turns but Benjamin is usually up earliest in the morning so he gets first shift. Overall, he&#8217;s turning into a nice young man. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Benjamin is finished with six weeks of 6th grade.
