Truck

Just around five in the afternoon yesterday, a week shy of his first birthday, Jack's Tonka Truck gene was switched on. We don't know how - Jack's previous experience with toy trucks is non-existent - but it did. While flying high on the swing, and surveying all that the playground had to offer, he started to point. And to say, imploringly, "duh!"(rhymes with the first part of "truck"). I walked him over to the area he was pointing and he got very excited and clearly wanted to be put down by this truck (see photo). He then became a very happy little boy and started loading the truck up with wood chips, occasionally pausing to put one in his mouth. A few minutes later he was making, "brooom, brooom" noises and we were wondering who's kid this was. Maybe he's been observing more than we thought on the job site...
