My nephew loves construction trucks! He loves reading about them, being told stories, drawing... you get the idea!
So, every time I come across construction trucks - I take a picture & send it to his mom (my sister) so she can show him.
This time around I saw a bulldozer at the beach so it'll be a fun story time for me to tell him the next time I visit! I actually wanted to snap a quick video saying hello to my nephew and look at the cool bulldozer but by the time we got back from our hike, it was gone!
One of the things I do for my nephew! I have so many random construction trucks on my photo feed! My fiancé thinks I'm weird at times especially wanting a video with a bulldozer.

that's how it goes, doesn't it? when we know someone loves or collects something, we're also automatically on a lookout for them. good thing you were quick to take a pic as soon as you saw it.

Yes I'm always on the lookout! My fiancé helps me look too but he said the video was a little weird hahah. Especially since there were people walking by, so I said I'll do the video when we go back to our car but then the bulldozer was gone, darn it!!

I used to do that for my son when he was little. Whenever I would find big construction vehicles/equipment, or unique ones, I would make sure I would take him to see them.

That is very sweet :)
My nephew lives about 40 minutes away so I don't see him often. But we FaceTime! He goes out more than me! Even travels with his parents lol!
He's been to Paris, Japan, mmm and a bunch of other states. He's 3! Lol

Michelle, I am very happy for you. I used to be close to my nephews when they were young but then we were no longer close and we are not close at all now. That is fine.

Children all have different hobbies and favorite stuffs. It is very interesting to hear that your newphew loves the construction trucks. I remember when my son was little, he was crazy about the fan. When he saw the fan in a store, he would point it out and we needed to say it and then he would leave. At that time he didn't know how to speak yet. And therefore we often shopped in the stores because of the fans When we went to the computer market, I just bought the mini fan for the computers. And the seller asked me which voltage I needed, I just told him any fans would be fine. I didn't buy it for my computer, my son just loved it.

Aww that is very cute, hehehe.
My nephew also enjoys firefighter trucks, dressing up as a firefighter, trucks, cars, trains, all sorts! He's 3 right now and is exploring a lot. He also likes playing outdoors, scootering, also likes to draw with chalk and so forth! Totally cute seeing him grow.
