Charlie is fascinated with diggers, helicopters, airplanes, trains, any kind of transportation or big machinery. He is really good at spotting them from a long way off. Usually he yells "digger" and then I look around and sure enough there is one. On our road trip we saw a lot of diggers and helicopters. Charlie was in heaven.
On our way down from the ski resort we saw a steam roller in a parking lot. We pulled over for a closer look. When we pulled over and he heard us talk about getting out, he immediately threw down his water bottle and his book and said in a very loud voice "BUCKLE OFF". As soon as my mom released the buckle on his car seat, he was across her lap and out the door. His grin was ear to ear when he got to stand on the step by the door to the big machine. He also sat in the tire and couldn't be happier. It was so cute.
We went on a train trip and at one point the train stopped for about 5 min. It happened to stop right in front of an excavator(a word Charlie can say really well, surprisingly). He was so happy. He kept staring out the window and saying "excavator". It was as if he were in some trance. When he sees a digger he drops everything in his hands and stares! What a boy!!!
