Needless to say, I thought he was going to love this event. It was called "Touch a Truck" and they advertised that the kids could sit in the trucks, honk the horns, play with the switches, etc.
I'd say, Van liked it. He's never been a huge cars/trucks obsessive kid. He likes to identify them, talk about them and watch how they work. The fact that he could sit in one and touch everything was fascinating, for 5 minutes. But it was still really fun and both boys had a good time! Score.
The biggest hit amongst the vehicles was...
A beloved motorcycle, of course! He might not have gone crazy for the cars/trucks, but the boy goes nuts for motorcycles. Look at the seriousness and how he wanted to believe he was driving. I fear him getting a motorcycle when he's older.
Both boys got in on the action.
He could have cared less about the tractor, but I sat him on it anyway. He thought it'd be cool to honk the horn.
When it came to the police cruiser, one of them wanted to sit in front and drive.
The other only wanted to be in back. Should I be worried?
Back at home, with the beloved prize. Thankfully, he's loosened up his grip a bit with the new toy. His brother likes to touch the garbage truck as well and is now regularly given visitation rights.The funniest thing about today, Van's discovery of a one man band. He knew the concept because of the book 'Olivia forms a Band'. But when he saw this guy, he was awe struck and followed him around, then kept asking where he went (the guy either took a break or left). He would have traded all the trucks for another 10 minutes watching this guy play and sing. I foresee our next big interest. A band and some musical interest would be fun!
Tomorrow, Adam's family birthday. It's an exciting weekend!
