We went to Touch-a-Truck on Saturday. Touch-a-Truck is an event with construction equipment and emergency vehicles where kids can explore all the equipment and "drive" most of it. Caroline loved it!! Our little girl LOVES construction equipment. Every time we go somewhere we have to look for equipment - dump trucks, cement mixers, tractors, etc.
They gave the kids hard hats.
Caroline is driving the dump truck.
We're in the back of a FedEx tractor trailer complete with a roller conveyor belt.
She's checking out the ambulance.
Sitting in the Franklin trolley car.
All the kids loved walking/running on this truck. Caroline was being very cautious and wouldn't let go of my hand.
The school bus was one of her favorites. We sometimes get to see a school bus in our neighborhood and the bus driver honks the horn and waves to Caroline, so she was very excited to see the bus up close and sit on the seats.
Caroline is the tiny speck in white standing in front of the back right tire.
I think the favorite piece of equipment of the day was the garbage truck because they were doing demonstrations. I have never seen a garbage truck arm as fast as that one.
After the demonstration, she wanted to sit in the seat and drive the garbage truck. We all had a lot of fun and look forward to the next one - hopefully it will be warmer. Caroline couldn't settle down for her nap 3 hours later because she was so excited - it took her over an hour to finally fall asleep. For those of you with kids, I would definitely recommend this (it's free).
Here's how she looks when she decides to pull the ponytail holder out of her hair. This hair style reminds me of Donald Trump and Cal of Woody Woodpecker.
Here, she's sporting her chocolate icing mustache. She did eventually eat a little of the cake part.
After a few successful ponytail attempts, I decide to go for pigtails. She looks so adorable!
After Gymboree we went to Grammie and Ger's house. Grammie bought her a special notebook to write in. She always wants to use a pen to write/color. She hardly touches crayons anymore.
Caroline and Ger were making "soup." She loves to help cook. When I'm cooking, she will ask, "Need help momma?" The other day I was carrying her things in from the car, and she asked me if I needed help - she is so sweet.
Caroline won't pose with us for many pictures, so I'm glad we got a good one.
Recently Caroline has started singing the entire alphabet. She usually starts with H for some reason. When she gets to "now I've sung my ABCs," she starts singing the alphabet again - "now I've sung my ABCDEFGH...and Z, now I've sung my ABCDEFGH, etc." It has become the song that never ends.

Getting a precious hug from Caroline - she hardly gives them anymore so it's an honor when you do get one.
Daddy and Caroline playing after a hard day's work for daddy. Caroline is always so excited to see daddy come home. This is the smile we need for our pictures.
