Toys, trucks and trains who could ask for anything more?

Well, my little man had one heck of an awesome day! This morning we went to playgroup, then Papa and Grandma where having their renter house torn down (they are building a garage in place of it) and he got to watch all of the action with his cousin Kirsten. Then as icing on the cake Daddy got his new steam locomotive back with a new sound system put in it (realistic sounds such as bells and whistles-I included a picture of our train layout that it is going on in our kitchen on the right hand side of my blog). Whew it was like Christmas all over again for him one exciting thing after another! At first he was a little upset about the house being torn down but then kept saying Mama are they going to build a new one? When I told him about the plans for a new garage he was then happy. This excavator was fascinating to him. When we got home we looked one up in one of his books and read-up on it. Then when it was time for bed I brought out his good night journal (we try to jot down what his favorite thing of the day was) and he came running over and excitedly said "my favorite thing was watching that one truck get down the house." I bet the space sure does look different now!

Rose E was entertaining today too! At playgroup she was showing me toys and she would say "see" or "this?" Lately, I have been thinking about the days when Walter used to do that but instead he would say "da?" for "that"? It doesn't seem like that long ago but boy he sure has changed since then! Rose E also kept us chuckling on our walk tonight. She figured out how to get her hat off so I said "Rose E did you take off your hat" and then Walter started to giggle and then she tried to tug his off too! Then he would giggle more and she would try it again, what a little goof!

I also had to smile because Walter decided to navigate the route of the walk. He told me exactly what roads to go on and where to turn and surprise surprise led me right-up to the water tower. Then he said "mama why the trains not running to the water tower anymore?" Talk about some observant little kids!
