This week I thought it was only appropriate to showcase Darius' love of Thomas the Train. Most days, the wooden trains and tracks are scattered all over the play room floor. Putting together a complicated track that connects and routes all over is a nightly challenge for me. I'm not always the most gracious in allowing D to help, either. I often cringe while telling him to move out of the way when I'm trying to figure out a complex connection. Well cringe on the inside. Because it certainly doesn't stop me from taking over. Who knew that I'd have more fun putting the track together?
Once the track is together, D lines up nearly every train he has to made the "world's longest train." It's quite fun to watch as he carefully select each train and their order.
Tonight, we are going to ride a real train up to Sacramento to visit with Neville's twin brother. I can't wait to see Darius get wide eyed and bushy tailed over the train station, riding a real train, and then getting to visit with his uncle. It's going to be a fabulous trip!
