Happy 3rd Birthday, Digger Man!
How could this happen so fast? Tobin turned three years old and officially graduated to “big boy”. He goes to preschool, doesn’t nap anymore*, rides his scooter everywhere, and speaks two languages. The only thing he carried over from the time he could barely sit, is his love for cars … and especially diggers. Naturally, this birthday was under the influence of heavy construction: Omi Hilde gave him the toy version of his beloved backhoe loader, Halmoni and Harabogi sent a play carpet with streets, and Omi and Opa supplied authentic foreman gear from Germany. In the afternoon, we had a lovely birthday celebration at his school (with edible rocks on top of the mini cupcakes), but once the day came to an end he was lost in play again … dressed to the nines and surrounded by his fleet of new and old vehicles. Happy Birthday, little big boy!

Schon wieder das Datum verpennt …. Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Tobin!!! Alles Gute zum 3. Geburtstag – Du bist der Größte ;-))Ninja, das Baustellen-Bild Nr. 9 ist super. Hier eine Reminiszenz an unsere Kindheit dazu – Der Baggerführer Willibald (ich habe das Lied damals geliebt, es kam glaube ich über die sehr links-alternative Irene, Freundin meiner Mutter, in die Familie und wir hatten sogar eine Single davon): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQWjiD2W6JM. Heute würde man das wohl nicht mehr für “jugendfrei” halten… aber naja, man wird vom Anhören wohl nicht gleich zum Kommunisten.
Viele liebe Grüße von Sophie

Did you ever think you’d be this well versed in the various types of diggers, skid steer loaders, back hoe loaders and excavators and road rollers and … and… and…
Happy Birthday Little Man!

Oh, Sophie … das waren noch Zeiten! Heute stehen sogar unsere alten Episoden der Sesamstrasse auf dem Kinderindex (“not recommended for children”). Vor allem hier in den USA muss alles politically correct sein, und die Kinder rund um die Uhr beschattet…

Cynthia: i had no idea! But your little man had quite an impact on your vocabulary (and mp3 collection) as well ;-)
