Bob the Builder

Sean's a huge fan of Bob the Builder. Actually, Sean hardly watches TV. He prefers books & we prefer it that way but all that's changed now. It started innocently enough some months ago.

An electrician came to my parents' home to do some wiring & Sean, being afraid of strangers, was clinging to me. Just to distract him, I switched the TV on. Bob the Builder was showing. And that was it. I think what attracted him to that cartoon was all the trucks in it.

Now, he watches Bob everyday. He has a Bob story book, coloring book & stickers. He knows the names of each truck & character & he knows a bit of the song too.

Recently, his grandpa bought him a toy excavator large enough for him to sit on. It came with a yellow construction helmet. Yup, just like Bob's. Sean was delighted.
