All Aboard!

Liam has been incredibly imaginative lately. Everything has at least 5 different functions or identities. He's been really, really into making 'trains' for all of us to ride. It started off very simply. He would just put a few chairs in a line and make everyone sit in them while he yelled "CHOO CHOO." Then he decided that the train needed wheels. First, he used his little letter magnets as wheels and put them next to each chair leg. Izzy was visiting and those are too much of a choking hazard, so he found a new ideas: balls! They are even round like wheels. He was thrilled with this idea, so he rounded up as many balls as he could to make wheels. Then he found the little wooden circle from a ring stacker thing and made a steering wheel. We had quite the train! We can no longer return to just a simple chair train... no, no, we always need ALL the wheels and a steering wheel before we can ride it now. I'm interested to see what addition will be next.

Steering the train with his steering wheel. We had lost some of the 'wheels' at this point!
Liam really is thrilled when he can convince someone to be a passenger. He's so glad Izzy is agreeable. (check out the giant green wheel on the left. :))

Izzy decided to provide some musical entertainment for their train ride with Liam's blow-up Dora microphone. ;)

I'm really loving this stage. This is just one example of the many things he has been dreaming up lately. :)
