John has begun showing great interest in large vehicles, such as the garbage truck, construction vehicles, and semi-trucks. When we remember, we like to take him outside on Tuesdays when the garbage truck comes. The video below seems pretty uneventful, but perhaps what is most cute is that John is so astonished by the big truck that he is nearly silent (not the norm for him!). Also, you can see his version of waving hello and goodbye.

Garbage Truck
On Tuesday I went out on a limb and tried jogging on my treadmill while watching John. I made some initial baby proofing modifications to the sitting room and I brought out one of the most exciting toys in the world: an old computer keyboard. The experiment had some success. John was completely occupied for the first six minutes of my jogging. Then I had to start hopping off the treadmill to redirect him. In all, I think we lasted 15 minutes. But it's a start.

If John is getting into trucks and other heavy equipment, you must get him the Usborne book called Diggers. John Joseph received it for his 2nd Christmas (along with some tractors) and it has been one of the best books we've ever had. Great pictures, lots to look at and flaps for finding things.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute and long-lasting stage. Our long car trips are much easier when he can spot the John Deere stores or the construction equipment along the way.
