I don't know when exactly, but at some point while in his bouncer, James discovered the art of twirling things with his thumb.
Everything is twirled or spun, and if he can carry it then it goes to the linoleum in the apartment.
Why?
Cause they spin faster and longer there. Duh!
On Friday, we watched as a light go on in his head.
His great grandfather took us to his company's holiday dinner, and James was included in the gifts for little kids. Santa presented him with a John Deere bank and a small truck of some kind.
Don't ask me what it was. My husband recognized it, but to me it was a piece of farm equipment.
James initially went for the wheels, spinning them to watch them go.
But then we put the truck on the linoleum, right side up, and gave it a little push.
That did it!
He loves making it move along, and has become the typical little boy with his truck in his hand as he rolls it back and forth on the floor. Add to that a Hot Wheel he had in his room waiting for this moment, and another little car we'd bought him with a monkey in it, and he is having a blast.
We know that one of his gifts this year will be a track set that his little monkey car will fit on, along with 3 or 4 more cars for it.
And I think it's going to be a huge hit!
