Sandbox contractor digging with toy excavators
moving the earth from one side to the other
with tonka trucks
Winding roads and expansion bridges
connected around the world
for the adventurous mind
Building block material
erecting a major skyscraper
or a cave for a home
Drive a big rig truck
to the local grocery store
deliver plenty of food
Fly an airplane over the ocean
discover a new land
they'll name after you
Become a great scientist
cure a bad disease
making people well
Climb a tree and swing on the branches
hide where no one will see
come out when they call for you
Run like the wind and fall like a feather
light on your feet and faster than a wink
now you see me now you don't
Enjoy all you can
for as long as you can
before you know it you've grown
Live the child's life
love much, smile plenty and laugh
mind your manners and pay attention

Like my nephew
Reminds me when my nephew used to play with trucks and tractors. This is full of the imaginative fun things that children do. Makes an adult long to be a child. My only critique is some of the words may not be understood by a three year old. -
Oh I loved this one! And it is as though you know my wee man too, he spends so much of his day out in the sand box with his tonka trucks and the like.
Thanks for taking the time to enter, I really appreciate it and so does my son.
Best of luck
