My Little Dust Buster


At two years old, Alan was obsessed with fans. Now he loves vacuums. At the indoor park this week, he approached a few of our friends and began asking them if they had a vacuum. He loves when Melanie comes over, because he gets to ask her about her red vacuum. "What color is it?" "Can I come over and see it?" "Does it make a loud noise?" When we were listening to Lionel Richie (yes we listen to Lionel), we had a 20 minute discussion about what type of vacuum cleaner Lionel probably has. When we call family, he asks them about their vacuums. We've spent several afternoons searching for vacuums in magazines and newspapers. He wants me to cut them out and then he runs around the house pretending to vacuum "the dust".

Below is a collection of his personal vacuums that he lined up one evening for Louis and Portia. It's pretty clear that he loves vacuums more than trains and cars. I think its having a domino affect. Melanie told me a few weeks ago that Ivan even asked Santa for a vacuum for Christmas!

Remember the time that Aunt Donna looked around our apartment (pre-Alan) and asked if we owned a vaccuum?

She will be happy to hear about this new development in our life.
