I was making fresh lemonade for Lindsey's birthday dinner and I noticed Conrad staring out the window (we have our blinds down on our front windows except for a a foot at the bottom because he loves to watch Ransom come home from work) and talking a lot of jibberish. He would be so happy and then he would look puzzled and frustrated. He came and grabbed me to look with him. It happened to be a little construction vehicle that our neighbors across the street had working at their house. He loved watching it move, but the second it would stop he would look at me so sad. Sometimes it would go out of sight for a little bit and he would freak out with lots of jibberish (later that night I found out he was trying to say "where is it?"). When it came back he would open his mouth like he does when he is so excited.
We sat there watching it for at least 30 minutes until it was gone. It took him a while, but I finally got him distracted with a bunny book and then got him to take his nap. As soon as he woke up from his nap he went right back to the window looking for it. I wonder how long it will take before he forgets about it completely! I don't think I've ever seen anything capture his attention for this long. -Katie

Now that's a boy toy. No wonder Conrad was glued to the window. Looks like a big yellow Tonka truck...Scott said it was a front bucket loader. I'm glad you had your camera ready! Where is your snow? It must be in Tennessee...we are expecting another snowfall Sunday and Monday. Love you all♥
Boys and their toys... they start early with their love of the big trucks. I sure love that kid!
PS Becky.
How did you do that cute little heart?
