Choo-Choo!!!

For about a year now Ryan has been absolutely obsessed with balls (his favorite is basketball). He "shoops" (shoots hoops) constantly. Around the beginning of the year he discovered trains. Oh.my.goodness. He's in love. He only cares much about his engines. A running background music to our day is, "Thomas, Hercy, Unkin....play choo-choo, Thomas, Hercy, Unkin!" (That would be Thomas, Percy and Dunkin engines). Taking away engines is my new go-to for punishment, because no amount of other discipline compares to having trains taken away. Sweet Ryan play so well independently, and I often can walk in to see this:



Here you can see his newest obsession, tunnels. We build lego tunnels for his trains. Is he all-boy or what? Balls, trains and tunnels. :)









(Sidenote, his trains are currently in "time out"--and have been for the past 24 hours.)

"No more 'cheese' Mama!" (stop taking pictures!). :) So, I guess I'll stop now. :)
