Large Machinery

I think I am the only mother on earth who has actually been corrected by her two year old on the name of a piece of heavy machinery...See below for reference. If any of you have ever ridden in the car with Sam, you know that he identifies EVERY truck and EVERY piece of construction equipment (thank you DVD's and National Geographic). OH, Truck! OH, EP-I-SKATER (excavator) damn it is cute! OH, Garbage Truck! OH, BEEEEEG Truck!

So in honor of my very informed child we are going to take a little quiz...Name these pieces of equipment

1.
2.

3.

4.


5.

6.
If you are having trouble here are the names of the trucks...match them up! Skid Steer, Excavator, Bulldozer, Backhoe Loader, Dump Truck & Front Loader.

Answers are as follows:
1. Front Loader
2. Excavator
3. Bulldozer
4. Skid Steer
5. Dump Truck
6. Backhoe Loader

RE: Story from above....In thinking I can't possibly think I am the only mommy on earth that has been corrected by her child as far as the names of heavy machinery. But this is how our conversation went....

Mommy: "Oh Sam, look, a front loader!"
Sam: "No Mommy, Skid Steer!"

Trust me, this was said with disdain and a FOUL look on his face like I just slapped him or told him that Santa wasn't real. What fricken two year old knows that?! Thank God he knows other things too or I would think crazy things!
