Wednesday was cement day (the first of many, I'm sure). Hunter was so excited all day. Thankfully, the truck didn't arrive until 3:30, and I still managed to get him to take a nap. He thought it was so cool to watch the chute unfold and swivel, and of course was full of questions about what cement was made of, what troweling does, and why did they spray so much water on the truck at the end.
Wednesday: The first day of pouring cement.
Hunter would not come back in the house until the cement truck left. (He looks closer to the hole than he actually was; mean Mom wouldn't let him get closer than about 3 feet since there was rebar sticking up in that hole.)
Today the rain came, but they still poured more cement. Much to Hunter's disappointment, we were at the grocery store although Mommy thought WalMart was sure nice and empty at 9:30 in the morning. It's funny to watch it all through Hunter's eyes. He told me last weekend when we were talking about the addition that he was going to hide under the table until it was done and then we could call him and yell Surprise. When I explained that it would take all of the spring and summer to finish, he was disappointed. However the use of big construction equipment has sure replaced the disappointment over length of time with excitement this week.
