Christmas List

On Wednesday afternoon, Owen & I were downtown killing some time looking at the toys at the Book Table until Matthew got off work. We looked around at a bunch of the toys until we came to the train table. After that, Owen just wanted to play with the trains. I didn't really know that he liked trains that much but thought it was fun he could play at the cool train table. So, after almost an hour of playing with trains, I told Owen it was almost time to go and then a few minutes later told him it was really time to go and get Daddy from work. Owen was very sad to leave the trains. While he was wiggling and crying as I carried him out of the store, I told him that maybe Santa could bring him a train present on Christmas. While we were driving in the car we kept talking about the trains and when we picked up Matthew at work Owen had to tell him about the trains. From there we went to Matt's parents house. As soon as we walked in the door Owen walked straight to the little table that a little 2 foot Santa was standing on and sat down in the chair in front of him. After he was sitting down, he started telling Santa about the trains that he liked, especially the gray one and was asking Santa to bring him a train present for Christmas. Well, it's a good thing that Santa now knows that there had better be a train present under the tree on Christmas morning :).

Oh, the trains. Our kids love them, mostly at the store, but they like playing with them at home too. A table would help, I think, so the track would stay together. Be sure you don't get those trains that are made out of lead!
