Big Truck

In October (mac was about 18 months old) we tried a death defying act of meeting my father on the road with his "big truck". It was a bit of a scary experience. Me a few days post C-section. My sister driving my car with Mac and Cam in the back.

So let's paint the picture...My father on the side of 84 in his 18 wheeler. Us in my mini Honda Accord. Calling each other so we can cross paths on the highway and have Mackenzie see Papa in his big truck! Needless to say I didn't really think Mackenzie GOT IT as she kinda waved but clearly could not see my father - even as I stratteld between the front and back seat to show her my father in the truck. She waved but I am not sure she really got it.

A couple days later we were in a parking lot. In pulls a Dunkin Donut truck and she looks at me with excitment and says "Papa!" as if to imply every truck was driven by HER PAPA - guess she understood more than I thought.

Now, about 6 months later she has still held on to that memory. Whenever we see a "big truck" she says. "Truck, like Papa's truck" It really is baby steps - - but her brain is just always working.
