I have always been amazed at Hobbes' love/fascination with all things machines. Even before age 1, he was into wheels, cars, tracks, things that move. When he was learning to walk, we got him a little push-mower, and instead of walking forward with it, he would lean to the side so he could see the wheels turning. On his 3rd birthday, my parents gave him his first Thomas the train track set, and ever since then, he spends a minimum of about an hour a day to 3 hours a day, building elaborate train tracks. Today, he saw some wheels on a large storage tupperware bin, and he asked if he could have them to make skates like Curious George. This boy has a machine-geared mind, and I love it.
