A boy and his trains...

We've been moving a bunch of stuff around in our house lately as we've been thinking about where we are going to put a third child in our little 1300 square foot, 3 bedroom home. We finally asked my parents if they could put the queen bed from our guest bedroom/Caleb's room in my old bedroom at their house for awhile. When they were here a few weeks ago with their trailer, they also brought down an old bunk bed that my nieces used to have in their room.

So now Sammy is sleeping on the top of her "new" bunk bed in her room, and Caleb is in Sammy's old toddler bed in his room. We still have to buy her twin top bunk and the lower double bed new bedding and paint the room, but we think Sammy and Caleb will share that room...especially since they play in there almost every minute they are both awake. But, for now, Caleb is in his room, and since the queen bed is gone, we've been able to set up his train tracks and keep them set up.

And, boy oh boy, does this little guy LOVE his trains!

He is so much like Brad in that way it is NOT even funny!

He has loved trains every since his aunt and uncle got him a wooden train set for his first birthday. Even though he really didn't play with them at one year of age...he sorta chewed on them...within a few short months he totally figured out what he was supposed to do with them.


And he's never looked back! Now he does love buses and garbage trucks and cars, but there is certainly a special spot in his heart for his trains. Now that he's two, I can find him in his room playing with his trains for 20 or 30 minutes. Have I mentioned how much he loves trains!


The one downside is that the official Thomas the Train wooden track and trains are pretty spendy, but I've been able to find a bunch of generic wooden pieces and trains for CHEAP at garage sales and consignment stores.


And, really, who can say no to a face like this!
