A Toddler’s Imagination and His Love For Trains

I know my first born son loves trains. His Thomas the Tank never leaves his side (and if it does, I am summoned to immediately fetch it with pleas of, “Tuss, Tuss, Tuss!”). He sits in his chair, in his bed, on the floor, in his car seat and wherever else he is, running his trains over his limbs and head. He spends much time at his beloved train table (if you read my personal blog, you might remember this post, this one that started his love for trains and this one of him admiring the trains). A huge smile pastes itself on his little face when he sees his Thomas book. When I go get him from nap or in the morning, he frantically searches for his Thomas and Percy before he’ll leave his room. He and trains (also known as the aforementioned “Tuss” or “Choochoos”) are BFFs.

So, I shouldn’t have been surprised when hubby found this in the living room recently…

It’s a remote, it’ s a book, it’s a car, it’s a binky…. these are my first thoughts when seeing these items strewn around on the floor. Leave it to a toddler’s imagination to turn them into exactly what HE wants them to be.

“Nooooo, it’s a TRAIN, Mom! Isn’t it obvious?” Well, now it is!

And, I do have to take notice that my youngest son’s binky is bringing up the end of this train as the caboose. Maybe Finley is hauling it off to the dump?

Who knows, but you gotta love kids!
