Me and My Truck

Right around when Matt turned 14 months old, he fell in love with trucks, completely out of the blue! He saw and heard every truck, everywhere! His favorite book became his tractor book and his favorite toy became this huge CAT truck! He carried it all around the house for a few weeks straight and did everything with one hand so he didn't have to put it down. We even made the mistake of letting him bring it in the bath tub (and then had to poke holes in the tires to get the water out)! He has since branched out a bit from this truck, but it is still up there in his top five favorites!

This week he is enjoying a little medicine dropper his Nanny bought for him to play with and also a tiny blanket that we used for a burp cloth when he was little. A week or two ago he started playing with his baby doll quite a bit, wanting to dress and undress him (or should I say, have mom and dad dress and undress him). So I pulled out the little blanket to wrap the baby in, but he wanted none of that, because he wanted the blanket all for himself. Every time I would sneak away and wrap up the baby again, as soon as he saw it, he would unwrap it right away! I even tried to swaddle the baby up really tight so he couldn't undo it, and boy, that made him angry! It was very funny!

It seems his favorite toys change every few days, but for those few days he doesn't put whatever the particular toy is down! I guess we'll be bringing the medicine dropper and blanket with us to Syracuse on Wednesday!
