At the break of dawn this morning, 6:40am to be specific, road construction started up the street from us on Appleton. While it did wake me up (after I had fallen back asleep after reading Tina Fey's Bossypants), thankfully it did not wake up Finley. I was NOT amused with the noise, but when Finley woke up on his own happy as a clam around 7:15, a little was forgiven. Then, when he heard the trucks loud and clear we rushed outside (PJs and all) to see what was going on. It was raining, so we took the stroller and a blanket and rolled down to the corner.
I can't tell you how excited Finley was when he saw all that was rolling by!
But this was the main attraction and Finley was really tuned in.
After that big machine passed us by, a little bobcat came rolling through cleaning up and smoothing things out. Finley has always had a soft spot for bobcats :)
Still not sure I approve of the early morning start time, but all is forgiven for today. Oh and our truck watching only got better as the day went on, check out what we saw in the supermarket parking lot!
Life is good if you're a truck-centric toddler (and a truck-centric toddler's mommy!)
