cars... the real ones


blake's major decision of the day.... if only life were so simple huh!?

funny story:

well, it's sort of a story, maybe more of a mommy brag.... so bare with me. anyone who knows blake knows that he LOVES cars, and i'm not talking the movie here (although he does love that too), i'm talking the real thing. he loves steering wheels, doors, locks, lights, windshield wipers, turn signals, you name it. the impressive part about this is that he can pick out the make and model of cars as well... no he doesn't know the REAL names of them yet, but he can spot them regardless of color. for example, my mom just bought a new toyota sienna, which blake lovingly calls 'grandmas new car' (although it sounds more like 'damas new tar'), and no matter where we are if he sees a toyota sienna (any color) he says 'grandmas new car.' he's been doing this for a while, and his skills are improving, not only does he spot EVERY chevy aveo (daddy's car), dodge neon (aunties car), and buick century (grandmas old car) to name a few. now after seeing a car only once or twice and associating it with a person, he'll spot it everytime, no matter the color or location, and tell me who's car it is. anyways, i just thought that was pretty impressive for a two year old, and definitely makes for an interesting ride in the car!

Crazy! Good thing you aren't raising him in eastern washington- I knew a guy who could do that with combines. :)

And, look out! because Blake also knows which key goes to which car and knows how to put the right key into the ignition! Eek!

You need to take him to a car show, he would be in Heaven!

I really like how that copy of Finding Nemo found its way out of my collection and into yours. I expect it back when your kids are grown up.

And maybe someday soon Blake can finally teach me how to drive a stick shift.

He sounds like he's ALLLLL BOY! THat is amazing that he can pick those types of cars out everywhere. My son loves transformers, and whenever he sees yellow cars, it's always "Look mommy! There's bumblebee!" :)
