So I decided that with all of G's new awareness of how backhoes and steam shovels work (courtesy of YouTube), it was time to read him a classic book I bought him while he was in the womb. Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. It was important to me that he like it as much as I did as a kid, so I must admit I was very happy when he asked me not to read another book next but grabbed that one back and made me read it to him again. Then I had to read it to him a third time.
No "brown bear what do you see" or "ways I love you" or "very busy spider." Tonight was all about Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel Mary Ann and how they dug the cellar for the new town hall of Popperville in just one day.
Being a dad is awesome.
