Diggers are one of H & K's favourite things and they were absolutely delighted to visit W's J at work and ride on the digger he's been using. They got to ride on a dump truck too.
The title of this post comes from a story S told me when she was teaching three year olds. She asked a small boy, who was dividing the world into things for girls and things for boys, "What is something for girls and boys?" and he thought very hard and said "CONSTRUCTION!"

My version of the story is a bit different (but after all these years I don't claim it's necessarily truer).
Some girls were excluding Enrique by telling him that the dress ups (or dancing, or something like that) was just for girls and I pointed out that that wasn't the case and gave an example (like Shawn, another worker at the centre who was a very joining-in kind of a guy) and I said that while there are toilets that are for just boys or just girls, most things are for sharing, especially good things, and asked Enrique for an example of a really good thing that's for everybody and he thought for a minute and came up with
"Construction!"
I think it was a handbag which was "just for girls."
Of course handbags are for anyone with a transporting schema.
