After work today I met Jake and Gavin at a charity "Touch a Truck" event in Macon. It delivered on it's promise to be "A family-friendly one day event that will allow children of all ages to come look in, climb on, hear stories and learn about a variety of vehicles and modes of transportation. Bring your children to see a helicopter, fire engine, ambulance, motorcycle, police car, bomb squad vehicle, hearse, garbage truck, dump truck and more!" I still think it's a little weird about that they had a hearse there. Gavin of course enjoyed the event but was a little overstimulated by all the big trucks - he had trouble at times enjoying each truck because by the time he got up close he would see another truck he wanted to go look at. It reminded me of Tyler's first Christmas when he was a puppy. We got him a big bag of assorted dog toys. We opened the bag and dumped all the toys out at once. Tyler was excited but quickly went from one toy to another whimpering, unable to decide what to play with - overstimulation.
