Most of the time when we pass this site, the excavator is parked and not doing anything. The conversation usually goes like this: “why isn’t the excavator moving?” “It is sleeping.” “Without any covers?” “Yes, it doesn’t need blankets babe. It doesn’t get cold like you and I do.” “Oh. Ok Mama.” On this day we got out for our walk earlier than usual and the constructions workers were still on site AND they were using the excavator. Despite how loud it was, I could hear the shrieks of excitement from both kiddos (although I am not sure R really knew what he was so excited about!).
