Trains are a boys best friend!

The Train Drawer

Thank goodness for TRAINS! I know that most little boys like trains but Leyton LOVES trains! He can play for hours (well, minutes) and be perfectly content. He lines them up and puts them through inspection, he races them and talks to them. Leyton knows all of their names and their numbers. He will let you know if you call Henry, Percy!

We get the seal of approval from him when we make him a "really cool track", sometimes they are just "pretty cool". It is hard to stay creative in your track building skills! So Much Pressure!

We implemented a "star system" in our house in order to recognize good behavior (staying in his bed all night, being helpful, not beating up his brother...etc.). When he gets 10 stars, he gets $5. Many of his trains were actually purchased with his "star" money! Skarloey is the next train that he wants to add to his collection.

Great job, Leyton!
