Trains

Samuel's fascination with trains began this summer.
He and Rob were at a park.
They had walked down to the water, under a railroad track.
Soon a train came by.
Samuel waved and the conductor blew the horn.
He was amazed.

Since then when you ask him what sound a train makes, he says "choo choo" and then waves.
He associates the wave with the train.

His love of trains has grown since.
Loves seeing them as we drive.
Loves playing at the train table at Barnes and Noble.
Loves watching Thomas as a special Sat morning treat with Dada.

And so for Halloween, Samuel is going to be Thomas the Train.
I have to admit, there were such "cute" costumes like lions and monkeys.
I thought, he would look adorable.

But nothing excites him as much as his trains and saying choo choo.

Look tomorrow for pictures.
