LOVE FOR TRACTORS AND TRUCKS

HE LOVES THE BIG BOY TOYS ALL READY, HE SAYS TRACTOR ALL DAY LONG, I THINK WHEN HE IS 2 HE WILL KNOW HOW TO DRIVE THE TRACTOR, TONIGHT WE WENT UP TO FEED THE BABY CALF, WE DID HAVE 2 BUT THE ONE DIED, IT WAS RAINY, I TOLD HIM ANOTHER DAY, THEN HE SAW GRANDPA ON THE TRACTOR AND HAD TO HAVE HIS TURN, WE WERE SITTING THERE TALKING ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE BUCKET WAS MOVING, HE KNOWS HOW TO MOVE THE BUCKET, HE ALSO KNOW AND TURNS HIS HAND LIKE HE IS STARTING IT, SO NEIGHBORS WHEN YOU SEE A TRACTOR COMING DOWN THE ROAD YOU BETTER LOOK TWICE BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE MY COWBOY "ZAK"
