According to Tucker, Austin drives:
...every ambulance we see
...every bus we see
...every tractor
...every tractor trailer, and
...every pickup truck.
It all started last week when Austin was away for a couple of nights at a conference, and I checked a book out of the library entitled "Drive." The book is about Daddy who goes to work really early in the morning to drive his tractor trailer. It shows a sleeping boy when Daddy leaves, and then Daddy comes home and they play baseball together. Well, Tucker identified with the book. Each time we read it, he points to the little blonde haired boy and says "Tucker" and each page he points to the man and says "Dada" (well, that or "hat" because he loves hats and the man wears one...).
It's like the mystery has been solved for Tucker about what Dada does all day: drive big trucks. So now that he knows that, he spends his time in the car showing me all the vehicles that Austin is driving.
In other Tucker news, Tucker has taken recently to wearing Ducky on his head. I'm not sure how it started, but now he really enjoys wearing Ducky like a hat and it's a minor tragedy each time Ducky falls off.
Yesterday was an exciting day because the UPS truck brought Tucker a package. He is going to be good at opening birthday presents this year, because he couldn't wait to get inside to find a pair of crocs from Henny and PaPa. Austin has a pair of crocs, so Tucker was beside himself to have the same type of shoes. And the box they came in were cool, and Ducky spent a lot of time going into and out of the box.
We are leaving on Thursday for my brother's wedding in Vermont, and Tucker informs us every day that we're going to go on an airplane to see GoGo. He is REALLY excited about the whole thing.
