Dump Trucks & Diggers

Jonah is still drawing on the little toy that he got from Uncle Tom and Auntie Maria. His favorite thing is to draw "happy" and "sad" and to watch other people draw it. But we draw all kinds of things!

The basket has been a favorite toy lately...

Jonah loves to put it over his head and hide from us. Then we have to say "Jonah?" until he takes it off. What a fun game!

Here are some videos from the past few days. There are a couple of Jonah drawing... he draws trees, Ellie, the sun, all kinds of objects, but he also loves to draw his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins! We do this a lot...

Jonah doesn't feel the same way about the pool that he did last summer. As you'll see from these videos, we're going to have to work up to even getting in the water. Last night when Jonah saw Luke in the pool, he just cried and said "out" because he wanted his dad to sit on the step next to him- he was scared or something. You can even hear Jonah saying "sit" to Luke. It took us a while to even get him to put his toes in!

There's a huge construction project going on not far from Ave Maria, much to Jonah's delight! They are converting Oil Well Road from a two-lane highway to a six-lane highway, so it's a monstrous undertaking that involves many beloved machines, beloved to Jonah anyway. He has a little book about trucks that has every kind of construction machine in it, but his two favorites are dump trucks and diggers. Well, every time we drive down Oil Well Road, Jonah can't get enough of the live dump trucks and diggers- he's amazed seeing them at work. So today when we had to be out of the house (because someone was coming to look at it) I decided to take Jonah over to the construction site, park the car, and let him watch the action.
