I love the fact that he happily includes santa’s sleigh in his speed calculations! That is very sweet.

That is truly adorable. I love how boys become obsesses…. with cars, trains, planes, etc. It comes from the same place, the specific interest just depends on the kid. So adorable.

We have to get our boys together. The Wolvog spends hours on Cars.com and gets authentically excited about the Nissan Cube and the Kia Soul (he’s got to be the only one). This is a kid who started crying when I told him they weren’t going to be making Saturns anymore. The great thing about car-loving kids is that they’re easy to shop for — Hot Wheels, Matchbox (real cheap too!).

He sounds adorable. I wish my boys were still little. Instead, they are smelly teens and quite preoccupied with GIRLS instead of cars. That being said, my boss in college used to let me drive his Porsche around to do errands for the office … I’ve still not gotten over it. So much fun …….

That’s awesome. The little boy I nanny for is the same way with identifying cars.

Speaking of vehicles though, I’m helping with a San Diego fundraiser for pediatric cancer that lets kids touch, honk horns, get up close with vehicles they see around (fire engines, motorcycles, etc). Email me if you want the specifics, it might be a bit north for you, but TheMonk (and Swee’Pea) might really enjoy it.

That’s so cool! My nephew has been able to tell the difference between his great-grandparents navy blue Toyota Matrix and my navy blue Pontiac Vibe (same year) since he could talk. Cars and kids are amazing together!

Oh, the Monk sounds like a mini-J!
My nephew was literally two years old, doing the same thing on my front porch: “There’s a Ford, Mercury, Lexus, Caddy, etc.”
We had the newspaper out one fine summer day and he was telling us which words on the classified pages were car names. He couldn’t really read at the time, but he could pick out “FORD” and “BUICK” and “MERCEDES” from anywhere on the page. I guess he recognized the picture of the word like he recognized the logos!
And may I tell you, today, at age 19, cars are STILL.ALL.HE’S.INTERESTED.IN.
Cars and heavy metal music.
You have lots to look forward to!!!
