Lately Isaac has been fascinated by trains. He has loved trucks for awhile so I guess trains were a natural expansion. It was probably about a month ago when I took him to the library for the first time. I was looking for books on cars and trucks and the librarian suggested one about trains. Isaac’s face lit up as I handed him the book to look at. When I went to check out the books he wouldn’t give it to me or trade with me for another book. He actually cried when I took it for two seconds to scan it! He carried that book around for days. Since then he’s been demonstrating his interest in several different ways. His favorite thing to build with his blocks is a train. Uncle Bryan gave him some pieces of life cereal for breakfast and Isaac pretended they were trains. He would drive little crumbs of cereal across the table saying ‘choo choo, chuga, chuga, chuga, choo choo.’ Last night at dinner he put his little toes up on the table (I know bad manners) and pretended that his toes were a train! He also lined up several of his trucks to make them into a train. Today he climbed up to my computer and started playing with the keyboard so I opened a word document. He typed a series of letters across the page, and then made train noises to indicate that the letters were now a train!
