Moving Trucks.

You're a typical boy...totally enamored with trucks and tractors and anything loud. Often as we're driving down the highway - you're screaming from the backseat:
MAMA! LOOK! A tractor. MAMA! LOOK! A crane! MAMA! What's in that semi??? etc.

We started a game awhile back, guessing what's inside of those big semi's..and you've long ago come to realize what a moving truck looks like.
But, oh my goodness.... None of us expected that it was going to take the biggest moving truck on the planet to move us to Colorado! You were so excited to watch it pull up. Study it. Ask questions about "What are they DOING??"



And, then, if the day couldn't be any better. A cement mixer pulls into the cul-de-sac to work on the neighbors sidewalk. Two big trucks in your cul-de-sac. On the same day?? WOW!



Now would also be a good time to note that you mention all trucks by name, according to the Jon Scieszka's books like Smash! Crash! and Truckery Rhymes. Add to that...the Thomas the Train series...and we have just about everything on 4- wheels named!

Cranes are named Cranky.
Ambulances are named Rita.
Dump Trucks are named Dan Dumper.
Big Trucks are called Monster Truck Max.
Garbage Trucks are named Gabbie.
Cement Mixers are called Cement Mixer Melvin.
Ice Cream Trucks are named Izzy.

..and trust me. I could go on & on! You've got a name for everything on the road! And, it's funny - because now you call out:
MAMA! There's Cranky! And, I know just what to look for!
