Construction

Asher is fascinated with construction of any type, he loves to watch men dig, dump, pave, whatever, if it involves big yellow vehicles, he's in. I found this book on his shelf about three months ago called Big Wheels. It's all about the different stages of constructing this transportation hub. After reading this book several times, he could identify every kind of vehicle, not only in the book, but in real life! It was pretty impressive to see an 18-month-old pointing out a forklift at Home Depot without any prompting.

Because I couldn't get left behind, I also had to learn the names of the vehicles, though admittedly, it took me longer than him. Who knew that at age 31, I could tell the difference between a payloader, a backhoe, and a cherry picker. I know a pile driver from a mole, I can even pick out a grader. Because my brain has a limited capacity, I know that this means bye-bye calculus, hello bulldozer.
