On Thursday afternoons, Heather picks Jace up from daycare, and I typically arrive home from work a little while later. On this particular Thursday, when I pulled into the driveway, they hadn’t yet appeared, so I decided to go for a walk and intercept them on their way home.
Ahead and to the right, the squeal of kids at the playground.
Ahead and to the left, the rumble of diesel engines at the construction site.
So… which direction should I go? Towards the construction site, obviously. And sure enough, there’s Jace up on Heather’s shoulders, with what is now his usual stream of conversation, “ooh the blue cherry picker mommy. Where the crane? Where’d the yellow crane go? Can’t see the nail gun. Can’t see the nail gun Mommeeee!”
That’s pretty much what he’s into these days. Instead of taking him to daycare, we should just get him a job operating a forklift.

this would be true for coby, too… what is it with “mighty machines” and boys? and what is it, genetically, that causes them to be such a fascination primarily w/ boys? (though i have to admit that i find them pretty cool, myself–once we watched an excavator working w/ a fleet of dump trucks for about a half-hour, and i wasn’t bored at all!)
