Charles got a new book last week which has many pictures of various kinds of trucks. Charles was enthralled with the book, insisting on carrying it while we were checking out, on the way home and around the house continuously once we were back. The most common phrase we heard out of him for the next couple of days was “where my book?”. I’ll try to update this post with a nice picture of Charles cuddling up with the book while he sleeps.
Charles has also taken to “driving” everywhere. This consists of having some small cars and pushing them to his destination. Frequently he takes cargo as well. Once when he wanted more milk he loaded up his sippy cup in the back of a dump truck and pushed it over to the refrigerator.
Conversations can be a bit different as well. Here’s an example:
Charles: “Beep beep!”
Dad: “Beep beep!”
Charles: “Beep!”
Dad: “Beep!”
…
Eventually I wear out the various combinations of inflection and rhythm and let Charles have the last beep.
