Elijah is beginning to understand the concept of time and growing up. Twice in the last week he has stated his desire to do something in the future.
We were watching the end of “October Sky” when it showed a clip of a space shuttle launching, and Elijah inquired, “Where is that plane going?” We told him it was going into outer space, or more specifically, his favorite celestial body – the moon. He then went on to say, “Can I ride on that space ship?” Carrie replied, “One day, when you get bigger.” He thought about it for a while and said, “Can I take my trucks?” This reference of course to his many die cast vehicles he carries around with him.
The other day, while on the way to the store, we passed a construction site that contained many heavy-duty machines. One was a roller. Elijah saw it and said, “When I get bigger I'm gonna drive a roller.” Fair enough. He already drives a car and tractor. Why not add roller to the list.
