Tractor spotting

One part of our daily life here right now is tractor spotting.
Rhodri has always been a fan of spotting tractors -- at University, he even wrote a tractor-spotting guide for his classmates when they went on geology/ geophysics field trips! So it is not uncommon for him to burst out excitedly with "Massey Ferguson 12-20! Blue one! Oh that is rare!" (okay, I made up that example up because I haven't fully learned all of the model series of Massey Ferguson or any other tractor manufacturer despite us being married nearly 10 years...)

So anyway, with all this snow we have been getting here, there have been many tractors on the roads and pathways clearing the white stuff out of the way. On our 6 minute drive from home to barnehage, we usually see 3 or 4 tractors and those are some exciting moments in the car with the kids craning their necks to look out the optimal window for tractor viewing. We learned today that Tryfan has been particularly occupied with tractor spotting when he is playing outside at barnehage. This morning when there was a tractor working nearby, he climbed to the top of the snowy hill and just stood watching the tractor work and then drive away. He even stayed there a few minutes after the tractor had left, just to make sure that he wasn't going to miss anything. I guess he is a chip off the old block, as they say....
