Backhoe Loaders & Toddler Beds

"How YOU doin'?" :)

"A Backhoe right outside my window!!! YAYYYY!"

New bed!

Luke is doing well and making a transition into a toddler bed. We are trying not to push him, but he needs to get in it by June or thereabouts so his brother has a place to sleep after the bassinet is no longer needed. It may take a few weeks for him to get the idea.

A backhoe loader rolled right up to his window last week since they had to dig up a root in the front yard, and it was the highlight of his month! He would check every day to see if it was still there, and it stayed for a whole week. Every time we'd pull into the driveway, he'd say "Backhoe! Backhoe!"

I have to share that Luke's favorite book right now is Robert McCloskey's "Homer Price".

It was a fave of mine in grade school, and has great illustrations. He loves the story about the doughnut machine and loves looking at the pictures. He doesn't have the patience to listen to me read the whole story, but he flips through the book all the time! I was planning on using it for homeschooling a lot later but am glad he has already taken to it. :)

Other things he enjoys doing is playing with his trucks, reading more books, snacking (!), playing outside, and going to the library. We try to go every Friday and get new books for him to look at. He goes to the church nursery on Sundays and some Thursdays, and has a great group of friends there.

Baby Hyde #2 is 31 weeks and coming soon (sort of)! Things are going well and all of us are healthy, thank God. We are all anxious to have him here and get things started as a new family of 4.
