Thomas and his Friends

TRAINS TRAINS AND MORE TRAINS!!!

Ayden has a huge vocabulary now but the word most commonly heard (beside 'momma' - which I'm not complaining about) is TRAIN!!  Boy does he love his trains.

So...last Saturday Toys R Us was have a 'huge' sale on Thomas the train stuff.  Well...being the indulgent parents (and grandparent) we might be, We (J, Gram-e, Ayden and I) took a ride down to the store.  We spent a bit of time looking around unable to make any solid decisions on what Ayden 'needed' when we decided we should try the other Toys R s in town just in case they have a better selection.  So we piled back in to the car in the 100 degree weather and drove across town to the other store.  [I see visions of many many many Christmas to come.] 

There, we finally made some decisions.  And after Ayden went to bed...his Thomas the Train set came to life.

When Ayden woke up he almost couldn't believe he had a train set in his own house!  And within the first hour, this unexpected event occurred....

I walked away for two seconds....

[Don't worry, Ayden (for now) has good listening ears and he understands we can't climb on it and doesn't try to any more (for now).]

The hours of enjoyment are endless and to be honest, it wasn't as much damage as I thought since those train tables don't actually hold that much track (buyer beware!)!  And so this is how Ayden spends his morning afternoon and evening.  Thankfully, we have a wonderful Nanny that is able to drag him away for other activities outside the house.
