Construction is great for kids. When my youngest son Case (now 19) was that
age, he loved dinosaurs. I convinced him that there were some yellow dinosaur
tractors living over at a local construction site, since I wanted to watch
what was going up. We would go there every morning that summer. He stood
entranced, sucking his thumb and holding his favorite pillow, for an amazing
half-hour or so -- what a great time we both had!
