*Benji is turning six! RJ and Will are going to spend the whole day with their birthday boy! Thank you GabriellaSayre for the help! Send suggestions! Love • Bree 💚*
Today is Benji's sixth birthday! Will and RJ can't believe their eldest child is already six years old! It feels like he was just turning three yesterday. Will and RJ have a day full of fun planned for their eldest son and they can't wait to spend one on one time with Benji.
Will, RJ, Coralei, Theodore and Dobby are downstairs waiting for Benji to wake up. Benji is sleeping in this morning.
"Dats mine, Teddy! Mine!" Coralei says grabbing the doll from Theodore.
Theodore frowns at Coralei but doesn't cry.
"Hey, hey. Cora, you have to share with Teddy. You have to share and be nice to your baby brother. Today is Benji's birthday and you need to be on your best behavior or you won't go out." RJ says to Coralei.
Coralei gives Theodore back the doll and he happily begins to play with the doll again.
"Thank you for sharing, Coralei. Good girl." RJ says as he rubs Coralei's back.

Will takes Dobby outside to use the bathroom and he begins to vlog himself.
"Hi! Good morning! We are waiting for Benji to wake up so we can go out and do things for his birthday. He is gonna choose what we are doing but RJ and I have a surprise for later today for Benji. Benji is sleeping in which is totally fine, it's his birthday he deserves to sleep in. Benji is six years old today, I can't believe it! It feels like he was just three and little. Now he is super tall and sweet. His birthday party was last weekend and he had so much fun. He had a blast with all of his friends and classmates at school. We didn't vlog much because it was at a bounce house and it was so hectic!" Will says as he yawns.
"Dobby, come on buddy. Let's go inside." Will says as Dobby runs into the house and runs over to RJ.
"Hi, puppy! Hi!" RJ says as he rubs Dobby's head and Dobby licks him.
Will then films Coralei and Theodore playing together. Theodore babbles happily at Will and Coralei waves happily.
"These two are patiently waiting for Benji to wake up so we can start celebrating! We don't wanna wake him up but it's getting late. He never sleeps in but he had a cold a few days ago so he probably just catching up on sleep." Will says as he kisses RJ.
"These two have been fighting for toys all morning!" RJ whispers as Will giggles.
"Coralei is learning how to share her toys with Theodore. Since Theodore is on the move now and can sit up, he loves playing with toys. He usually plays with Coralei's toys since Benji's toys are in his bedroom. Coralei kinda doesn't like sharing her toys but we are working on it." Will says as RJ giggles.
"Coralei loves having her own toys. Theodore does have his own toys but he likes Coralei's toys too." RJ says as Theodore giggles.

Benji walks down the steps slowly. Benji sees his Daddy, Papi, sister, brother and Dobby looking at him with huge smiles.

"Happy birthday, birthday boy! Good morning!" Will says as he vlogs Benji.
"Good morning, Daddy! And thank you!" Benji says as he tries to fix his hair for the camera.
Benji smiles ear to ear as he waves at Will and the camera. Benji giggles as Coralei runs up to him.
"Happy birfday, bubba!" Coralei says as she hugs Benji tightly.
"Thank you, Coralei." Benji says, kissing Coralei's cheek softly.
"Happy birthday, Benji!" RJ says as he takes pictures of Benji.
"Thank you, Papi!" Benji says he looks at his balloons that Will and RJ bought.
"Do you feel any older today, bubba?" Will asks Benji as he hugs him.
"No! I feel the same! This tooth right here is loose!" Benji says as he chuckles.
"Woah! Another loose tooth! I'm sure the tooth fairy can't wait to come back to our house!" Will says.
"Ba ba ba!" Theodore says to Benji and Benji laughs.
Benji sits next to Theodore and hugs him. Benji then pets Dobby, who licks his cheeks.
"Do you like your balloons, bub?" Will asks Benji as he vlogs Benji sitting near his balloons.
"Yeah! They are so cool! Kinley got pink ones for her birthday!" Benji says.
"Let me take a picture with you and your balloons!" Will says as he takes a few pictures of Benji with his balloons.

Benji holds the cupcake on the special birthday plate. Benji giggles as RJ tries to light the candle but the lighter doesn't wanna seem to work.
"Come on lighter, work!" RJ says as Benji laughs.
RJ finally gets the candle lit and Benji poses for a picture. Coralei stands next to her big brother and wants to touch the candle in curiosity.
"Coralei, don't touch the candle baby girl." Will says as he vlogs Benji.
"Let's sing!" RJ says as he sits Theodore on his lap.
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Benji! Happy birthday to you!" RJ and Will sing happily.
"Make a wish! Make it a good one!" RJ says as Benji blows out the candle.
RJ, Theodore, Coralei and Will clap their hands.
Benji then eats his cupcake and shares it with Coralei.
"Aw, that is so sweet you are sharing your cupcake, bubba. After you and Coralei are finished eating the cupcake, we are going to get dressed and then you can open your presents!" Will says making Benji gasps in excitement.
