My little boy. Oh boy!

Being totally dedicated to all sorts of machines and noises. To everything possessing a mechanism and being able to move, to spin, to ride and to make a noise. First it was his sister's doll pram. He was barely a sitting seven-months-old baby when he discovered that when you turn down the pram, you can freely make the wheels spinning. Amazing! Fun! Then there came duplo and some wagons, which can be attached to one another. A train! A car! Cars! Then there came the never ending exploration of the outside world with all its bulldozers, snow plow trucks, dump trucks, diggers, lawn mowers! Yes, that is. A lawn mower is a love from a first sight. Don't you think it is an extraordinary machine? It must be. He is absolutely fascinated by them. What he usually constructs from duplo? A lawn mower. And believe me, he is really an inventor. His own lawn mowers not only can cut the lawn, but in a very clever way he figured out, that such a tool should also water the lawn. So, when you take a look on his inventions, you can see on one end the cutting tool and on the other end the watering tool. He is very eager to explain it to you and present how it works. Oh yes, those lawn mowers have one disadvantage: they are loud. Quite a loud. The sweet noise of those machines comes form my beloved son's throat and for the first few minutes is cute, for the next few funny and for the next whatever just unbearable. The lawn mower can be anything. A stick, a box, an empty garbage bin (why not?), even a stroller or a push-wagon. The other fascination are a hammer and a saw. Before he got his own tool box, he used to built his tools from blocks or playing with those tiny lego tools (a drill for example) or pretending something is a hammer or trying to "steal" a real piece from his dad's tool box. Scary! So, the Santa decided for the goods sake our son is going to find one tool box under a Christmas tree. Some nights all the tools are going to sleep with theirs owner. Resting quietly next to his pillow. Other nights our little boy chooses to take to bed all the construction machines: a truck, a digger, a bulldozer and a crane. We need to read about fire trucks, which he calls in Finnish - palo auto. And for Christmas when I was doing with him some arts and crafts (usually he is far from such activities) and asked him what he'd like to draw on a Christmas card for grannie, he replied immediately: a digger!
