front-row seats!
With brief stints of sunny weather, the construction has ramped up and our neighborhood has been buzzing. For a little boy who has a deep and abiding love for all things machinery, it has been a dream come true. We had two back-hoes digging up the lots directly beside our house; you would have thought he was about to burst he was so excited. So, when the cement mixer started backing up to pour the foundations one day, I realized that pulling him from the window to eat lunch was going to be Mission Impossible. As with all toddler negotiations, when at first you don't succeed, you do your best... and compromise.
I grabbed his chair and took it out to the porch... he quickly followed when the plan started to unfold before his eyes. He hopped in, grabbed his milk and devoured his PBH while watching the action roll. If I was a betting woman, I would place my bet that this was one of the best days of his life, in his book!
