Hats and Trucks and Smiles

I have no idea what Calvin will choose for a career, but I'm pretty sure it will include attention to detail, strong opinions, and hard work. He certainly knows what he wants, is adamant about telling you about it, and does not cut corners when working on his "projects" like building towers, cleaning up legos, and stacking...well, anything.

If the last week is any indication, I also have a feeling it might involve trucks and hats. Calvin has been wanting to wear a hat all the time. He enjoys his own (too small) hats until he sees one of Dan's.

This has been the scene the last few nights when Dan comes home. Dan puts on a hat, Cal takes it for himself, and I watch while Dan and Cal kick a ball back and forth. Calvin often says "oh!" after kicking, which is what he's doing here.

I'm thinking this career might just be in agriculutre. He sure loves this new "Jin Din" shirt and he's all set to be outside with his sunglasses (which he also wears all the time now).

Or maybe he'll be a baseball player who eats hotdogs at the ball park and drives a souped-up truck? This hotdog, by the way, says "wooof!"

Though all trucks have been exciting lately, dump trucks, fire trucks, and garbage trucks are definite favorites!

He's totally hamming it up for the camera here! A fire truck is a "ree" and it says.....

I think Jack will choose a career that involves people. He's a charmer for sure! Even when he's been crying, he smiles when we come get him. What a precious boy!
