I often marvel at the uniqueness of our children: the irrepeatability of the person. There are times that I take a deep breath, look at the little person standing before me and realise that the child at which I am looking is a completely unique person and must be treated accordingly. Amazing. Part of this uniqueness is that to which they are drawn.Jacob is especially fond of books and the printed word while Benjamin has a particular devotion to farms, animals and agricultural implements.
Several times, I have found Jacob fast asleep clutching a book. However, this was the first time that the book had not yet toppled forward onto his face and was still in reading position. Just below, in the bottom bunk, Benjamin was gripping that which is most dear to him: farm animals. His little hand was filled with 'cows and hossies' and his head was resting on a John Deere pillow.

Adorable pictures! That's wonderful that you've got a reader! I think reading is so great for kids :)
So true! I continue to be amazed at the uniqueness of our daughters. And they're still so young...I know their traits will keep growing in different interesting ways. This is maybe the only reason I let them grow up at all...because I'm excited to see who they will become. Otherwise, I'd do my darndest to keep them snuggly babies for-evah :)
