Ben Loves Trucks!

To say that Ben loves trucks would be an understatement. He ADORES trucks and if one is in the vicinity forget about getting his attention on anything else. He can be just about asleep in the car but if we pass a truck going by he wakes up, yells "Truck" and points and turns his head to see it pass. And you better acknowledge it when you are with him. It's just not any truck either,oh no no no... it has to be a big moving truck, dump truck, semi-truck, cement truck or UPS truck...the big trucks. Pickup trucks don't do it for him. I made the mistake of buying him a dvd that just has trucks on it and Grandma Sharon our babysitter says he wants to watch it all day long. So I took that away from him, at least on a daily basis. He also loves big toy trucks like Tonka trucks. Can you guess what he may be getting for Xmas? When Ben reads one of his numbers and colors books, he only cares about the pages with the trucks on it. Maybe he is gonna be a truck driver??? Or maybe own the trucking company? :) We were at the park a couple Saturdays ago and a moving truck drove by. The attached photos tell the story. He ran towards it pointing and yelling "Truck"!" Then he followed it all the way down the street and stood there for a couple minutes as the truck was stopped at the stop light. A few days later the same truck was parked against the curb at the park and I got the truck driver to blow his horn for Ben using the "arm pumping motion". Ben was thrilled with that and made the guy do it a couple more times. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
