About a block and a half from our house they are in the process of constructing a new church building. This means that there are excavators and tractors and all kinds of construction equipment that I don't know the names for! Needless to say my two-year-old is in heaven.
Consequently we have to go on a walk nearly every day to see the progress they are making and check out what equipment is on the site. Here is a picture of Jonah from earlier in the week. He LOVED this excavator and wanted to "get closer".
Can I drive it, Mommy?A day or so later we spied this ginormous thingamajig (Do YOU know what it is?). Just look at the
little boy and the
HUGE... um, whatever. I am pretty sure Jonah would LOVE it if we could just take this sucker home!
Sorry buddy... I don't think that will fit under the Christmas tree!

Boys and construction vehicles...I don't think they outgrow the addiction!
ReplyDeleteawesome - lucky boy!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love the contrast of you tiny boy next to those monster machines! So cute!
ReplyDeleteCute pics - no, I have no idea what that thing is either! When my oldest son was little, if anything was like that in our neighborhood - we would have to walk there everyday in fascination also!
ReplyDeletewow he is lucky to get that close... Blake would totally be jealous!
ReplyDeleteOh, I can almost feel his excitement...how cool is that???
ReplyDeleteMy toddler is very into construction and all that goes with it. Good thing my husband is in the field! I checked with him and it is offcially called a motor grader or aka a blade.
ReplyDeletei'll have to ask my 8 year old nephew for the name of that huge thing! :-)
ReplyDeletejames would love it if i could get one of those to fit under our tree too!
That last piece of equipment is called a grader. They use it on our road all the time. Aren't i lucky to live on a durt road where they use that type of stuff all the time. Not!! Very Cute boy and the large equipment. Mine is the same way.
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! I can just imagine his excited little face!! I think our big guys would get a long great - they could just sit and watch construction all day long!!
ReplyDeleteAwww my daughter (yes daughter) was the same way. She still screams "digger" if she spies one! ;)
ReplyDeleteHe's sooo cute next to those BIG trucks!! How precious!!!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, my son would SO love that under our tree too!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd say GINORMOUS! But what excitement from a toddler where they look even more GINORMOUS! How exciting to have a new church built down by you. Will you be going to this church?
ReplyDeleteI love the perspective on those shots! You should blow those up and make them into posters! Those could fit under the tree...
ReplyDeleteThose picture are great! To be honest, I never caught the construction equipment bug as a kid, but I think I'm the exception.
ReplyDeleteYou could just park it in the back yard, with a big red bow on it. I'm sure your son would be just fine with that.
I can imagine : your boys watching them wide-eyed.
ReplyDeleteMy son loves construction equipment and pretty much anything that goes 'vroom vroom' ;-) I think that is called a grader. I think.
ReplyDeleteif it won't fit under your tree, maybe you should get a bigger tree ;)
ReplyDeleteMy boys loved the big trucks, too, when they were little. Still do, probably. The vehicle says CAT on the side, but I can't remember what that stands for. Such a precious picture of your little tiny guy next to it.
ReplyDeleteGotta love a boy and his tractors!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet...I'm sure you can find some pretty good kid-sized tractors that will fit under the tree:)
ReplyDeleteLucky kid!!
ReplyDeleteThose pics are super cute!
But Mommy it's so cool! My daughter is the same way! My husband is in construction so she's had the pleasure of riding on an excavator too! So fun! Maybe Santa will stuff a tiny version in his stocking!
ReplyDeletePRICELESS! I laughed out loud through this post!
ReplyDeletecute pics. my girls, especially breigh, are the same way. we have tractors at our house, and they love when they get to go out in it with daddy. or when they chop the corn or hay...they are in heaven. :0)
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I'm liking that boys seem to be easily entertained... :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a grader. I have been educated in construction vehicles. Having 4 boys, well you have to know the names of them all.
ReplyDeleteThose are cute pictures! Your little one looks to be in total awe. Isn't it funny how little boys develope the addiction to BIG toys so early on.
ReplyDeletei feel his excitement from here!
ReplyDeleteI always think that there are not enough pictures of earth movers in PSFs... ;-)
ReplyDeleteNice post!!
Jay
Great photos! My son is too young to be excited about things like this.. though I hear it coming.
ReplyDeleteYou could always get him a replica! Cute post, HM.
ReplyDeleteHow cute...my son used to call them "elevators" instead of excavators!
ReplyDeleteMy son would so agree! He is into anything and everything yellow with large wheels! LOVED THIS! :)
ReplyDeleteHe looks like he's in love!! hehe :)
ReplyDeleteI would love nothing more than to come visit with you sometime. But before I head west, I'd better move east! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's great--Ethan went through a major construction equipment phase, too.
ReplyDeleteAwww, what cute pictures! I can just imagine what's going through his little head! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is really cute! I am sure he was in AWE!
ReplyDeleteThose are sweet pictures!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love ya too hun - good luck tomorrow!!!!

ReplyDeleteI loved seeing the pics of your son with the tractor or whatever it is called. How he is just looking at it in awe, such a boy! So cute.
ReplyDeleteI love this because its FREE! My favorite entertainment-Free and Memory making:)
ReplyDeleteIt starts so young with boys. :) How sweet! My boys were always enamored with the Ukes (HUGE dumptrucks, like the tires are way taller than me) at the caves in our old town.
