As soon as he hears the machines he yells “Dig Dig!” on the top of his voice with one arm raised to the sky, finger pointed. He says this over and over through the day and scours the toy box for toys that resemble earth moving machinery. So at least 3 times a day I’m prevailed upon to walk out to the work site and check on the progress. Once in front of the action Little Bro goes silent and watches in awe as the Dig Digs do their work. Big Sis on the other hand sees it as a social opportunity. There are lots of kids in our area so there are usually at least 1 or 2 other families watching proceedings so Big Sis spends her time greeting friends new and old, and trying to get a game or conversation established!
