OK, so my almost-two-year-old boy is nuts about cars, trucks, trains and airplanes. Which is so very different from his sister, despite recycling all of her old books and toys for him. So what gives?I'd have to check, but I swear his first word was "car", and for several weeks he would finish a blathering sentence with the word "car", like it was some form of universal punctuation. However, above all motorized methods of transport, to him the Car is King.
We were out walking this weekend and every car that he could touch he would, feeling the fenders, running his fingers over the tires, and tapping the lights with his little knuckles. It was really cool to see this tactile relationship form.
I like cars, and I was nuts about them for a good ten years before realizing that other things like paying for groceries and having heat were probably more important that owning the fastest Porsche in the world. But hey, maybe this little guy has helped to rekindle that lost love of wheeled things, and maybe you'll find us working together on a classic someday not too far down the road. Car.

Ahhh, you may yet be allowed to relive your childhood! My son is similarly "such a boy" despite having all his older sister's books and toys, and parents who swore they'd treat their kids in a gender-agnostic manner. He's not into cars, but head over heels into sports: hockey, soccer, baseball, you name it he loves it. His favourite saying (or rather ours of his) is "Girls do ballet, boys PLAY SOCCER!!!"
Good post.
Hello. And Bye.
