Posts that celebrate everything Benny.
Benny turned 4 today. And we celebrated with a haircut. A buzz cut, to be exact. Before and after. The pictures speak for themselves. I could hardly watch as the hair came off. The only thing that changed is the hair. But it seems like so much more than that changed in those few days. …
