Airplane

Like his Grandpa Wilde, Robbie is obsessed with airplanes (and helicopters). We live by the hospital where we can hear and see the life flight helicopters land and take-off. When airplanes fly overhead, he will run outside to point them out. Well, for Robbie's birthday, my mom got him this airplane (as you see from the picture, flying it is very serious business). The propeller spins and makes an engine sound when you push a button. Robbie is in love with it. For days he wouldn't go anywhere without it. I taught his preschool at my house this week and had to leave it upstairs so that other kids wouldn't try and play with it (I knew that would only end in violence and tears!!!). Who knows, we just might have a pilot in the making.
