Before Ezra was born I was pretty snotty about not wanting ANYTHING for him that had a sports or vehicle theme.
I went on long tirades about how lame it was that EVERYTHING for little boys was covered in cars, trucks, motorcycles, etc.
My mom laughed at me and said "what are you going to do if your little boy really likes trucks?" I told her that I would let him make that choice...but I wasn't going to force it on him.....
well my friends....Ezra has chosen! He discovered the $.99 matchbox cars at Target one day, and since then his collection has grown, and grown, and grown. He mashes them with his big Tonka trucks, he brings them on car rides with us, he begs for them at the grocery store...
and it doesn't stop there! He's obsessed with pointing out trucks, buses, airplanes, trains, motorcycles, ANYTHING with wheels by pointing and yelling "that!" He stared, open mouthed, at the Harley driving in front of us today. I had to giggle looking at his face in the review mirror.
He even looks for books about vehicles at the library and REFUSES to let me read any other book to him. I guess I have to admit that in the world of little boys.....
things with engines are pretty dang fascinating! I better start preparing myself for an obsession with sports next, eh?

lol - funny Jen! There's something about wheels that boys just love. And they even know how to make the truck and tractor noises. He's such a cute little guy!
