My little corn farmer...

Benjamin has loved anything and everything to do with corn and animals. The first three pictures are from our family vacation last year with my in-laws. My mother-in-law suggested we take the kids to a children's museum so they could play and burn off some steam. There were all sorts of things to play with but Benjamin was infatuated with the corn field. He would pick corn for hours if we let him!

I love eating sweet corn! (2007)

Benjamin loves eating corn on the cob. I know, who doesn't right? Well, this little boy gets so excited for corn on the cob that he has to eat a cob before it even gets cooked. That's right, I said he likes to eat it raw. Dave and I are still trying to figure out what is so good about uncooked corn on the cob!

Shucking Corn

Benjamin has always been very helpful but he has been in the helping mood alot lately. Now whenever we have corn on the cob it is Benjamin's job to shuck the corn. Surprisingly, he does a great job at it. But I have to watch him as he likes to take a "commission" bite out of each cob.

His love for corn and corn farming continues today. He likes to feed his cows and horses (horsies) corn. When we go grocery shopping we cannot pass the corn on the cob without picking up a couple of ears. It has been so fun watching Benjamin develop into the little boy that he is. I love you honey and look forward to watching you take on the world!
