Vvvvvvvvvvvvvvac---cuuum!

June 5th, 2008

He actually says it like that. Sometimes he outdoes himself on the lead in. VvvvvvVvvvvVVvvvVvac! Avery is literally obsessed with the vacuum cleaner. He remembers where it is when the door is closed and can literally entertain himself with it for an hour. When he gets woken up unexpectedly sometimes, he wakes up and says “vac!” which makes me think he dreams about the vacuum too.

Actually, he’s kind of at the age where cleaning seems like a ton of fun because he loves the broom too, and putting things, anything in the trash can (toy or otherwise). He also likes to carry a bag of paper recycling down to the blue bin. He was freaking ecstatic the whole walk to the recycling bin carrying the paper bag, putting the stuff that fell out back in. He copies one of the older kids at daycare and says “i’m cleanin’” while he pushes the broom around. This weekend at the toy store we picked up a kid sized broom and dustpan. At another toy store I’ve seen a vacuum cleaner toy (has a girl on the box of course), but it was almost $30 so I let Ave play with it a while and then passed.

They also had real, but kid-sized rakes, shovels, and hoes, but that seemed like an emergency room visit waiting to happen.
