All boy

It's pretty fun to see how different Benson and Cassie are.  Some days I think to myself, "Benson is such a boy!"  He really is into "boy" things, especially cars, trucks, and "diggers" or anything construction related.  When he sees anything with wheels, his immediate reaction is to say, "brrrm brrrm!"  We ran into this tractor at a pumpkin patch and I had a hard time tearing him away from it.

Same story with this sweet ride in the mall.

Benson is more brave than Cassie in a lot of ways.  He is definitely a thrill-seeker.  He likes to jump off of beds/chairs/stairs etc. into our arms, and he loves when Trevor tosses him in the air.  He isn't afraid of animals at all (Cassie is usually a little wary, or at least cautious).  He will chase dogs that are much bigger than he is, just so he can pet them.  And he's a little too brave on the playground for my taste.  He goes down slides by himself without any hesitation.  He loves to climb as high as he can, then stand at the top platform on the very edge and grin and giggle.  I am constantly standing underneath him, because I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he thought it would be a good idea to jump.  Crazy kid.

Running after pigs at a pumpkin patch.  Go get 'em!

 He would have gone down this by himself if I let him...

 I'm pretty excited to use these pictures for blackmail someday.  I guess part of being a little brother is wanting to be like your big sister sometimes...

 I can't believe I captured this pose...seriously, priceless.

We love you, Mr. B!
