Cree has a slight obsession with Grandpa's motorized vehicles. the lawnmower, the push mower, the wagon attachment, and especially his three wheeler, aka "grandpa's tractor"...it is all a bit much, but actually totally sweet too! he wants to be a part of any of the yard work if it involves these machines. he can be busy in the house and drop everything instantly if he hears that "tractor" turn on. and it's pretty loud too. so this happens often.
we know this won't last, so we all (especially my gracious father) try to embrace these days and all the chatter and excitement and not so subtly disguised requests...usually they go something like this. Cree spots grandpa appearing outside, anywhere in the yard, and he's at the patio door hollering out "hey Grandpa, nice day out there today isn't it?" followed by "need any help?" or "hey Grandpa, it doesn't look too wet for your tractor today!" or "are you going to be doing some work later? need my help?"
it's fleeting. it's something i want to soak up. his excitement for these little things, his desire to work and do all the real jobs~ well, i can't imagine it will last.
so for today, grateful for my dad who indulges him, and for Cree's curious
love of all these things...
