One of our public channels shows videos from 7pm to 7am of orchestra, instrumental, opera, ballet, modern dance…things along those lines every night. Last night was a video called “pretty big dig” that showed these 3 hydraulic excavators (sort of like the one in the picture) dancing and moving to music. It was pretty amazing, but all Zach and I could think was that my dad would be one of the few people around that could handle one of those that well. Those were some seriously good operators. Was sort of funny that we were both so riveted to the screen when they came on…at first we were laughing at the absurdity of it, then mesmerized by the sheer skill of how those machines were moved around. Amazing! Wish I could get ahold of the video because it was just so cool.
Cute Zane thing today: My Mom & Dad stopped by for a few minutes to pick up the turkey roaster pan they loaned us since they were in town to get Zane’s present. (which I am SO excited about….it was exactly what we wanted for him…but I’m not telling yet. hee hee). When they came in he excitedly showed them the tree and then ran back to his room to get the ball they played with him last time they were here so they could play with that again. Upon leaving, he was fairly happy as he was waving bye-bye to them, even helping me move my hand in the “bye-bye” motion. Once they left he ran to find his sippy cup, put it in my hand, grabbed Zach’s hand and pulled us both to the door. (the sippy cup is always the last thing I am running around trying to find before we leave to go someplace). When he realized we weren’t going to go with Grandma & Grandpa, he crumpled on the floor crying and kept trying to drag us to the door. He was not happy. The last few times they have come over, it was to meet us before we went out to do something. I felt so bad for my little guy.
