Our town hosted a "Touch a Truck" fundraiser last weekend. Edison had a blast - except for when the older kids would honk the horns too loudly. They had just about every kind of truck you can imagine and the kids could climb in and around all of them. This is a street sweeping truck. Notice how there are two steering wheels - so you can drive it from whatever side is right next to the curb. The steering wheels are linked together which made it fun to play around in.
One of Edison's favorite trucks right now is the cement truck. He likes it because it is essentially a giant wheel (favorite word) that spins the cement. It is really funny how the driver is just in a tiny little compartment.
But Edison's favorite truck is actually his Little Tikes "Cozy Coupe" car. We keep it in the living room for now since the driveway is gravel here. He loves sitting in his car while watching Sesame Street (aka - a half our when mom can make dinner in peace!).
Eben's father, David, came to visit on Sunday. We went to the Mystic Seaport and explored the ships while enjoying a beautiful, early summer day. Pretty amazing family resemblance, I'd say.
No baby yet... hopefully soon!

I just read that the Cozy Coupe is the single best selling car in America - beating the Camry and the Accord. Edison's got good taste!
Congratulations on 8 years of marriage and baby #2 (almost!) you look fantastic Johanna! I really like the sitting in the car and watching sesame street idea, I'll have to file that away for a few years from now :)Take care!
It's great that you've introduced Edison to different vehicles at such a young age. And not just the usual cars and trucks, but also specialized ones such as the sweeper and cement trucks. It must have been exciting for him to see all of these, and you don't usually get to see them up close. I hope you also taught him to be wary of such big vehicles, and to keep away when they're doing their jobs. I hope you had fun on this event! Take care!
