Stating the obvious

Caleb loves trucks.

(No, wait. I don't think you understand.)

This boy loves trucks.

Like fish love to swim. Like a bear loves honey.

Like a father loves his children.

Yep, that's it. Caleb loves trucks like his dad and I love our children. Just like we love our children.

He plays with them. He carries them around when they get tired. He protects them from rambunctious siblings. He reads to them. He patches up their booboos (with a little help from mom). He's sad when they're broken, and he's excited when they get to do something new (like go down a big slide, or race across the kitchen floor).

And when they get tired, he does what any good dad would do. He finds a nice place for them to rest, and tucks them in with his favorite blanket.

Good night, truckie.
