"Tractor, tractor, Tractor, tractor"

They've been doing some road construction by our house and now every time we drive by that part of the road, even if Tad can't see it, he says "Tractor".  Evidently they're all over town because he'll say "tractor", I tell him there's not one right here, I look over, and of course there's one!
We knew he'd love a ride on Grandpa's tractor...... now he's even more obsessed with Tractors!

Riding on the tractor with Pampa.

 After his ride with Grandpa, he insisted on "driving" it.  And the smart little dude has already mastered climbing up and down off of it.  (At least 10x while we chatted outside.)

Now he says "tractor, tractor, tractor" constantly!  The other day we were talking to Fred on the phone and Fred asked him about tractors.   Tad's reply was singing "tractor, tractor, tractor, tractor, tractor."  I asked if he knew any other words?  He said "Yes, Dirt".    :}  



And obviously, he does know DIRT.  While we were planting our garden he fell head first off the front porch (less than 2 feet).  He didn't cry very much, I distracted him by having him help me water the garden (water solves everything for this boy!).  By the end of using the hose, he had more dirt on his face than from falling off the porch!   (You can't even see the red spot on the right side of his forehead, just dirt!)
