Tuesday morning Jack asked me about books about carpenters. I told him to ask the librarian. So when we got to story time, Jack walked across the room to John the Librarian and asked him for a book about carpenters. John escorted Jack up front to Kate, the children's librarian. Again, Jack asked very clearly for a book about carpenters. Kate found us two--mission accomplished. I think it's pretty cool that Jack feels so comfortable at the library and can state his own needs.
At the park there are two attractions this week--a nest of three baby Great Horned Owls and the action at the playground. If you look sharp, you can see one or two of the baby owls high at the intersection of several branches of a eucalptus tree. Stacy got a good photo and we think Jack has been able to spot them.
One of the toilets overflowed into the playground sand, so the city has brought out a Bobcat and dump trucks to completely remove the sand. Last week they were letting the bare earth dry out before they replace with new sand. We hope to be on hand when the new sand arrives. It was pretty neat to see the operator manuveur around the playground equipment to get every last grain up. The workingmen waved to us as we watched from above the playground.
Jack and I also spent good time watching the ditch digging and pipe replacement on Wilder Street. Machines included a backhoe, an excavator, double dump trucks, a tamper, and a little machine with a brush that squirted water and then raised huge clouds of dirt cleaning up the street. Emma came over twice last week to play in the dirt pile.
Jack visited his new doctor and we learned he has gained a pound in the last two weeks. Congratulations to us and Jack! The photo shows a chubby, tired Jack in his favorite backhoe shirt.
