Choo choo!

It takes a village to raise a child...and two children to make a village?

A few Christmases ago our friend Jason gave Ryan his very first train track set (Thomas the Tank Engine, of course). Since then he’s gotten 4-5 more sets for birthday and Christmas gifts, and the occasional standalone piece/train in between. The result? WAY TOO MANY TRAIN TRACKS. But he loves them, and now Alyssa has gotten into building them too. She likes to bring out her Littlest Pet Shop toys and legos and add buildings and fences and houses to the massive intertwined set of train tracks that Ryan puts together. Sometimes I get down on the floor to help them, but dodging all of the tracks and trains and bridges and trees is a little like playing Twister – and I’m getting to the age where I’d need massages in Orange County to help me out afterwards!

(As an aside, you know what’s awesome about train tracks? They’re never put together the same way twice!)
