Trucks

Dear Nana,

It's happened.  Ben loves the book you gave him, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!  Why does he love it?  For the bus.  And the red truck at the end. 

I was reading him a poetry book tonight as well... and in it, he found another red truck to point at.  No other pictures drew his attention.  For several weeks now, he's been asking us to read his Big Trucks On the Move board book with moving parts (except for the one random page that was clearly meant to have a circling cement mixer, but somehow got skipped).  We thought perhaps he just liked the interactivity.  But, nope.  It was the trucks.

We've got a truck man.  We love him anyway. :)

He is also getting steadier and steadier on his feet.  And, his climbing abilities are advancing by leaps and bounds.  He went over to his little table and chairs in the dining room today, pulled out a chair a little ways, climbed right up into it and maneuvered himself into a sitting position.  The kid went and sat down like a big boy at his table and chairs.  Then, when he was done sitting, he maneuvered himself right back down.  It takes some doing.  There's balancing and propping, carefully unfolding and unsticking little feet and legs -- but he's quite capable.  And, deleriously proud.

Love,
Mama

Sorry folks, photos are stuck in the camera at present!  But, I promise, he's still cute!
