I Love Dirt
My sweet little grandson, Lincoln, lives and breathes dirt. After Mommy, Daddy, and God, tractors are his first love. Since he was about 10 months old, he's been obsessed with what he calls "cacas." Tractors, frontloaders, dump trucks, cement mixers, it doesn't matter. As long as it picks up dirt and dumps it somewhere, it's a caca.
When Mommy fixed up his new big boy room before a new baby comes into their lives, she found the cutest tractor bed set and hung huge photos of local construction sites on the walls. It's his dream room! She then spent weeks painting the entire side of their garage with a super cool tractor mural.
For an evening outing, Daddy takes him to check out the lawn tractors at Home Depot or for a special treat, they go to a construction site after the workers have gone home to get up close and personal with the big earth machines.
Then I saw a photo of Sarah's little guy, Corben, in the PERFECT shirt! He was so cute playing in the dirt. He apparently loves dirt just as much as Lincoln!
I just HAD to find a shirt like that for Lincoln! Corben's grandma got it for him from Kohl's, so I started checking every Kohl's I could find for this cute jumping beans shirt. It had been on clearance when she bought it, and they were even sold out online. I had pretty much given up on finding him one, but when visiting Lincoln last weekend, we drove by a Kohl's in Fort Worth, and you guessed it! I found it ~ probably the very last I LOVE DIRT shirt in all of Texas, and I couldn't wait to get back to their house to give it to him! I was so excited that I took the picture of the front of it on my lap in the car. It's big enough for a sleep shirt right now, but my little dirt-lovin' man will grow into it soon enough.
Thank you, Grandma,for getting that shirt for Corben, and thank you, Sarah, for posting his photo on Facebook. You rock!
