Our little adventure today provides a preview of the theme of Eli's second birthday party for which plans are currently in the works. We took him to the John Deere Pavilion in Moline today. He loves tractors! He has been riding in them early on, from taking a ride with Grandpa Bob in the tractor out to the field to riding along with Papa Ron while he pushed snow in the tractor this winter. Ian has taken him on countless tractor rides, too. "Tractor" was also one of his first words. Eli even spots tractors from quite a distance. He loves to play with toy tractors, ride on his mini tractor, and read books about tractors.
