Snort.

Have you read the book, "Are You My Mother?" by PD Eastman?  It's one of Lila's favorite books, and the biggest reason why she is so into construction equipment.

In the book, a baby bird hatches and sets out to find his mother.  Among the animals and things he thinks may be his mother is a backhoe.  He calls it a "snort" for the loud, snorting noise it makes.  As such, any big piece of construction machinery is known as a snort at our house.  And all snorts are amazing in Lila's eyes.  Lucky girl, there is a lot of construction going on around our house right now.

Imagine our delight - ours every bit as much as Lila's - when we came across this beauty yesterday.  For once when she jumped up and down in a store and declared, "it's for Lila!", she was absolutely right.

It was practically made for her.
