Corey Combine


What is it about trucks that little boys love?  Is it in their DNA?

The picture above is of PDG and Corey Combine.  Corey Combine is both a John Deere tractor AND a book.  The book inside tells the riveting tale how he must collect all the corn before the first snow and relies on the help of Johnny Tractor.  Until recently I had no idea that combines existed, let alone what a crucial harvesting role they play.

Corey Combine was given to us by a good friend and we pulled it out a few weeks ago to give it a shot thinking it might help encourage PDG to roll more.  Oh man does he lovelovelove Corey Combine.

He loves to spin its wheels.  He loves to eat its pages.  He loves to drool on the cartoon-like face.  And boy does he love to watch Mama roll it forward and backwards making the appropriate "vroom vroom" and "beep beep" sound effects.

Oh babies, how I love them and their easily entertained selves.  You know, when they aren't screaming and all

  1. OK, I apparently 'comment' in my mind because now that I'm looking at your blog again I keep seeing that I haven't posted anything I've thought. I'm glad he loves Corey, but doesn't it drive you crazy that kids primarily go for the cheap/free/non-toy stuff? It's the old 'buy a new toy and the kid plays with the box' syndrome. ...Which is why I buy most of the stuff for W second-hand!
