TRAINS!

Mike a new free DVD player for cashing in his reward points. So he hooked it up and AJ can watch his train video. He loves all modes of transportation, but planes and trains are his faves. By the time I dug the camera out of my purse and started it up, he was not as vocal as he started out. But he stood there riveted for the better part of the 45 minutes the video played. I relaxed, taped him, made dinner, and checked my email while he stood and announced each engine as it arrived in the scene. He learned new words like "fireman" "steam" and "bridge" that he repeated 30 or so times throughout the evening.

He has watched this DVD 4 times since Wednesday. It is Thursday night right now. That's a lot of trains for me.
