new habits

Luca narrates every car ride talking about boats, fire trucks, cement ("ment") trucks, open gates, airplanes, and bridges.  One day, Luca got to watch the draw bridge (which actually swings) open so a fishing boat could pass, and he hasn't stopped talking about it.  Recently, Luca has become fascinated with driving anything with a lever, riding everything like a "horsey", and sliding down any incline.

"djive!!"

"hor-sey!!"
