We had our yard landscaped and Mr. Horne's tractor was at our house for probably 6 weeks. I has an absolute obsession with the tractor. He always had his little tractor (M's, actually) out whenver Mr. Horne had his out - he would carry and dump legos inside next to the windows where he could see the real tractor outside. One day he got the tractors outside in the dirt before I realized it....(I don't think the Hess trucks were meant for the dirt but that truck was chock full of dirt before I realized he had gotten it outside....Daddy took them apart and cleaned them out and I'm keeping closer tabs on what goes outside.) Anyway, the combination of dirt and tractors was absolute heaven to this child. He is obsessed and wants to play with the tractor every day even though Mr. Horne is done and his tractor is gone now.
