Two-year-old Nevin McIntyre Jr. loves to watch the big trucks go up and down the road in front of his house as the City of Saskatoon does construction work.
His mom, Jamie Billette, says little Nevin’s day was made Tuesday when one of the workers knocked on their door with a surprise.
“He said they noticed him sitting there all morning watching him work so they wanted to give him a gift,” Jamie said.
Nevin was gifted a toy front-end loader and his adorable reaction was caught on camera.
“He was super-excited …,” Jamie said. “I was live on Tik Tok and that’s how I was able to catch the footage.”

According to Goran Saric, the city’s director of roadways, fleet and support, three workers were fixing potholes when someone attacked them using a shovel and a skateboard. The man then took off.
Two of the workers were taken to hospital to be treated for minor head injuries. They were both treated and released.
Saskatoon police described the suspect as being in his late 20s wearing blue jeans and a black bunnyhug with a red hat and black medical mask.
