trucks and babies

my son is very much a boy. it's all about trucks and tools and other things that go. it's also all about babies. he has always loved to pack around babies, care for babies, and of course, play trucks with his babies. when he was younger and just starting to be verbal, i watched in amazement as he "taught" baby sign language to his baby. "more" he would say as he touched the baby's hands together. while working on our deck this week, he zipped a baby into his jacket and packed it around while he dug and raked. last night at bed time he gathered up three of his babies, took them to his bed, tucked them in so carefully and patted their backs. so loving.

the moral of this story is ... buy your son a baby.

it won't make him less of a man.
it might even make him a better man.
