A Little Boy and his Train Set

When we visit stores with extravagant train table set ups, dude parks it. He's set for as long as I allow him to stay put. And it usually takes bribery of some sort of sugar based product to pry him away. So, for his birthday, Nanna and Pappa hooked him up with his own train set up in our basement. We had the table (courtesy of a neighborhood garage sale) and they provided the tracks. HOURS of fun people. Hours. If you don't know where dude is, look downstairs by his train table. He names his trains, he makes up scenarios of crashes, he names wooden people...he adores this gift of f-u-n. And we so too. Thanks Nanna and Pappa! And special props to the creators of Thomas the Train. Genius. Pure genius.

Yes, that's Dora the Explorer in the orange van. Didn't come with the set.

And this is the face of a little boy scolded for throwing said Thomas the Train cars at Mama's head.
