Four-Year-Old’s Love Letter Goes Viral

Those who know about love know that a true Casanova spreads the love all year-round. Just ask four-year-old Bennet Skinner.

Bennet is a mini Romeo who has become a viral sensation after a love letter he wrote to a classmate was posted online. Bennet told his mom that he wanted to write a letter to Baily, a girl in his pre-school class, so he dictated it to her as she typed. The adorable letter reads:

"Will you please come to my house? Let’s play together. I think you are pretty like a horse or a ladybug. I’m not sure which. You should come to my house and eat cheeses with me. I love you and I lost a tooth last night. I think I would like to do a magic trick for you and then let you watch me battle robots. Love, Bennet."

Bennet's mom Jennifer said "He talks constantly about [Baily] and how much he loves her 'yellow hair.' He will be having his fifth birthday party in a few weeks and the theme is knights and princesses. He is over the moon knowing that Baily will be dressed as a princess."

Jennifer also said all the recent attention Bennet has received has been a welcome distraction from the health issues he has had to deal with. Bennet was diagnosed with cancer at just six months old, but the family is hoping that he'll be given a cancer free diagnosis at his next appointment.
