S and A’s favorite things right now include anything transportation related. They wave and say, “Bye bye!” to every car on the freeway. Every. One.
They make their own “choo choo” noises as they precariously guide foodstuffs into their mouths with utensils.
The faintest far-off rumble of a plane or helicopter necessitates dropping EVERYTHING to go outside and spot it.
Favorite song? Definitely “The Wheels on the Bus.”
The girls’ obsession with vehicles started with dump trucks and tractors, which their friends, Parker, Logan and all the other boys play with at the park. Parker’s mom, Phi, alerted me to a great deal on a set of construction trucks for the girls and kindly picked some up for me. Now we have our own set to rival the boys’!
Planes! Samantha is a little behind Amelia when it comes to putting two or three words together, but she has recently begun shouting in toddlerese, “Aywpwane in skyyyyyyyy!” at the faintest hum of a plane or helicopter. It’s actually pretty amazing (not to mention adorable) to hear her say it since she rarely strings together multiple words intelligibly otherwise. I think they are going to have some pretty interesting things to say as they continue to talk.
As long as the girls aren’t driving them, I’m fully supportive of their love of vehicles. Don’t worry girls– you’ll be behind the wheel in no time…32 years to be exact.
Lots of love,
