We found out he was going to have a baby brother. And he was going to be a super cool big brother, so we took him to Wal-Mart to pick out a toy. We pretty much let him get what he wanted. (we knew it was going to be Thomas the train stuff) So he picked out a tank and a set of tracks. He was in such shock in got to go in the cart and home with us. (which I hope doesn't become a problem in the future).
Once we got home we set the whole thing up...and we learned another lesson...read the packaging carefully! The track set was just straight and curved track. Which in translation means extra pieces, it does not make a full completed track!!! It didn't seem to phase him much he would put the tank on the track at one end and let it go till it ran off, then go put in back on the other end and let it do the same thing. Well us as parents weren't as amused after spending all that money on a 'new' toy. I was going to take it back, but he was just gleaming from ear to ear with excitement over it. It was 9 at night we even took him back to Target that late to get a set to make a full track for him. Oh how kids can sucker you into things so easily!
The next morning Matt got him up, he didn't even stop by our room to see me, he went straight to the living room, to check on his trains :( I have officially become #2 in his life. Then when it was time to clean them up, his sweet little self tried to put them back into the boxes, because as far as he knows that is where they go. Most of his stuff doesn't come in a box, which just breaks my heart, but that is how we can run a dare care with all our toys, we buy nice ones second hand!!!
