Bye Bye Thomas... Hello Trucks

We had a fun year of Thomas the Train mania.  Andrew would play for hours making track and running his trains on it.  About 3 months ago Andrew started digging with his trucks in the back yard.  He now watches Mighty Machines and looks for construction trucks when we are in the car (it is really easy to find these with all of the construction in Fort Worth).

Getting a up close glimpse of a front end loader while we stopped at the mall.

 Andrew loves to go to the park by my parents house because it has rock and these excavators to dig with.  We pack up our trucks and he has fun digging in the rocks.  It is hard to believe that this is the same park I played on as a child.  I sat on that same excavator many times as a child.

Last week we walked to the park by our house and we had a fun surprise... a dump truck was dumping fresh sticks/mulch on the playground.  Andrew sat on the top of the slide and watched every detail, then his truck helped spread the mulch.

I am now trying to get mud/ dirt out of this little boys clothes.  I know it has been a good day for Andrew if his feet are darker with dirt.  He is also taking more baths :)
