Our new favorite toy

Austin takes his front loader with him everywhere! He has been so rough with it that the railings have been ripped off and half of the buttons don't work any more. You can tell this toy is loved. Keith has gone out and bought him some more of the fleet. Now he has a back-hoe and a dump truck. We went to a birthday party at the park yesterday and Austin was running around with his front loader and a three year old boy followed him everywhere just hoping that Austin would decide to give him the toy. He was so cute, he looked up at me and said "why doesn't he talk?" I explained that he is still little and doesn't say a lot of words yet. Then Austin rolled his toy down the sidewalk and the little boy "went to get it for him" ;) and Austin ran over there and took it from him and patted him on the head. At least he didn't smack him! But we do need to get him around other kids and teach him how to share.
