A Boy and His Truck

My son likes the book The Happy Man and His Dump Truck. Not knowing this, some friends of ours happened to give him a dump truck for his birthday. He loves it. Now I call him "The Happy Boy and His Dump Truck."

This is a picture of him enjoying his truck and some rain boots he also got as a birthday present. The hat he just wanted to wear because he likes hats, and especially that one.

A few of the writers of the blogs I frequent use cutesy names for their children instead of their real names. I like that practice as it protects their privacy somewhat. I have decided to call my son "Happy Boy" from now on. It seems a much better alternative than calling him just "my son". It also prevents the problem of possible confusion if I end up with another son in a couple weeks.
