Truck Book.

When Wesley wakes up every morning, there is one thing and one thing only he is thinking of. "Truck book! Truck book!" he excitedly yells. The "truck book" he refers to is his favorite book, "Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks and Things That Go." Every morning, he gathers Shannon or myself (and, if she's conscious, Julia) and all his stuffed animal friends on the staircase for a rousing read of his favorite book. It almost goes beyond a mere "book." This possession is the centerpiece of countless get-togethers among his stuffed animals, matchbox cars and plastic toys, who all seem to share his love of trucks, trains and cars. Every page holds new treasures that bring a gasp of delight out of Wesley, as if he has not seen the same page 300 times already.
