A Tractor at Our House
My grandpa gave his old Ford tractor to my mom but it has just been sitting unused at her house for the last year. Chris and Jonny have wanted a small tractor, so we brought the tractor to our place earlier this week. Jonny is very obsessed with tractors right now and points out every tractor, swather, or combine he sees. Jonny goes out to sit on the tractor at least once a day and wants to drive the tractor every day when Chris gets home from work (which gives Chris an excuse to start up the tractor again!).
This reminds me of another story that I need to write down so that I don't forget. When we were at the library, Jonny found a book about tractors but it was written in Spanish. Jonny excitedly showed it to the sweet little lady that takes care of the children's section and asked if she would read it to him. She told him that she couldn't read it, but that Jose (another library worker) could because he speaks Spanish. Jonny thought about that for a few seconds and then said, "Well, I speak tractor!"
