Tool Time

Our little Benaboo loves tools. For months, he has been doing a Tim Taylor-like growl whenever he sees or hears them. His favorites:

the lawnmower,
the vacuum,

the leaf blower,
and also the weed eater, but I don't have a picture of him with that one.

He is a bit obsessed. Sometimes we just open up the door to the garage and let him go admire them. He makes me vacuum every day - not the whole house, but still...it's not my favorite job so I don't love it. Floyd was mowing the lawn on Saturday and the rest of us were gone. He texted me to tell me he felt a little guilty mowing without Ben. He's usually right there "helping."

But don't worry, Floyd. Ben found his own fun. We were at a Halloween party at my aunt's house and Ben happened to wander into her garage about halfway through. He found a lawnmower, a shop vac, a leaf blower, and a weed eater. His own little heaven. Needless to say, I spent the last half of the party chasing him out of the garage.

We just hope this stage lasts at least until Christmas so we'll know just what to get him - anything that makes a loud engine noise.
