Trains Trains Trains

On Sunday, we decided to take advantage of the beautiful, mild weather and go...ride some more trains.

I can't help it--the kid loves trains.  It's much more fun to take him to do something he loves than it is to force him to do something he doesn't.  For everyone.

Close to where I work, there is an old mini steam train railroad.  You ride about a mile out and back, all the while shouting, "ALL ABOARD!"  Wait... maybe that's just my family.  We like to shout all aboard in case people aren't clear that is what a train says.

Seriously, this kid loves trains.  We are considering a trip to a small town outside Chicago for some train museum and festival.  Because who doesn't want to drive 10 hours with a toddler to stare at trains?  I can't think of anyone :)

Mac was also invited to a birthday party at The Little Gym.  He loved it...much more than the trial class we did about a year ago.  It's making us think that we might switch back and forth between Little Gym and Soccer for Mac's athletic ability classes.

Mac also took the opportunity to show off his recently-learned drinking out of a cup without a lid abilities.

No one else took a picture of their kid drinking, which makes me think maybe this isn't that huge of a deal...but those other kids were older so whatevs.
