Jude is going through a "digger" phase; he's obsessed with them. He's even begun to use his imagination, seeing them everywhere. "Look!" he says, "Digger!" And then, once we've driven past them, he inevitably begins asking for more. "Okay," I say, "I'll tell you if I see another one." So now, whenever I see any kind of construction, I get excited. Even when I'm alone. I have to stop myself from excitedly yelling, "Look Jude! A digger!"
Road construction used to annoy me. Now it excites me. How our children change us...
