This photograph, taken in our Florida motel room, may be an interesting insight into each boy’s future strengths and talents. Both boys are fascinated by trains and show strong interest in design engineering. We noticed that while Benji seems to enjoy the theoretical side more, Trey Davey appears to be drawn to the more practical side.  Benji without question prefers the passive enjoyment of train books, videos and the photos on my laptop computer while his brother is more hands on, preferring to actively lay the toy tracks and push the small trains along them.  Because they share so much, each is exposed to the other’s preference, which broadens their experience. Hopefully this twin synergy will one day produce two well rounded men.
