Fire Engine Truck, Far and Little Container Truck, Taufik.

Taufik has a huge a fire engine ladder truck which he received as a gift from Uncle Rehan, Auntie Samira and his hug-and-fight buddy, Mahnoor. He also owns - as part of his rather varied collection of vehicles – a Toy’s R Us container truck, which is a small sized replica of the real thing.

Yesterday, he was playing quietly by himself in the bedroom when I walked in search for one thing or another. I overhead my son talking to himself, as he was on the floor pushing his Toys R’ Us truck closer to the enormous fire engine truck, “Hi Far, I miss you so much Far.” “Hi, Taufik I miss you so so much too.” responded the fire engine truck to the little container. “I hug Far.” Said Taufik as he inched the container truck as close as he could to the fire engine truck.

I ran out of the room laughing to myself and quickly shared the little pretend game, that Taufik was playing all himself in the bedroom.
