21 Months on the Trolley

 Is loving his new table with roads and paths and he is playing with Savannah's pink vehicles, but that is ok.

 Now onto his Cars truck.

 Winterfest at the Trolley Museum

 Loving the lights and it was a "warm" evening for December in New England

 Amazed at the lights on the Trolley ride

 Turning the trolley and we got a photo while the lights were on.  We lost Savannah's gloves so she is wearing Daddy's and Seth wanted no gloves, no hat, and take his jacket off on the trolley.

 They had Santa in the museum after the trolley ride, but Seth wouldn't go near him.  Savannah is here whispering her wishes. 

 Love how Savannah is patting Seth's head.

 The train exhibits in the museum were great.  Seth was mesmorized.

 Our little engineer figuring out his Thomas toy.

 What to do with packages that just arrived

 Make steps

 Take a seat

 Arrange them

 Climb up them

 Carry them and move them around the house (these are very light).

 I crack myself up.

 Stacking time

 Lots of fun with boxes

My sister is not here so I can even play with her doll stroller.

It is hard to believe that 6 week old baby we brought home from Japan what feels like a moment ago is 21 months.  To celebrate, we had a warmish evening on Saturday and we took the kids to Winterfest at the Trolley Museum.  they have the lawn lit up and blow up snowmen, Thomas, trees, etc. They also have a train table, coloring and an awesome train museum/exhibit (it isn’t big, but they did a great job with the electric trains and decorating them). We couldn’t tear Seth away. The store has Melissa and Doug and Thomas. They also have live music, Santa and popcorn, cookies and hot chocolate for a $1. All the kids get to see Santa and get a gift (Savannah got a Slinky and Seth got a little book about elves).  We went on a trolley ride through the valley and the houses, trees and bridge were lit up and decoated for Christmas.  They sang Christmas Carols on the trolley ride.  It was really fun and great for young kids because it isn't too long.  Considering the place is totally run by volunteers, they did a really nice job. It was worth it.

Seth is also enjoying his new activity table with roads and streets and places for his planes, trains, and automobiles.  He is such a fun child and is playing in such a sophisticated manner.  His language is growing day by day and he is starting to combine words.  He is showing interest in potty training and doing big boy things.  He is smart and curious and full of love.  He will climb and be a rough and tumble boy, but then loves to cuddle.  His newest thing is what I call "no stuffed animal left behind."  When he wakes up from his nap or in the morning you can't only take him out of the crib, you cannot leave a single stuffed animal or blanket in the crib or his gets hysterical.  There is always a reason for what he does.  We think he is going to be an engineer because he has to figure everything out and his is very exacting and intentional with all his does.  And, like from day one, his smile and little dimple will melt your heart over and over again.

Would really like to know who let that baby below go and grow up?

We love you Seth!
