Choo Choo!

So last night, we were doing our evening wind down when I noticed Miles was super quiet. Like SUPER quiet. That normally means he's doing something he knows he shouldn't be doing. So I'm thinking to myself, "dangit - what's he getting into? Where is he?"

He was sitting behind the couch playing with his trains. *melt*

Lately, we've noticed he's been trying really hard to figure things out. While he's always been this way, we've seen an increase. Whether he's trying to figure out how to steer his new bike, how to jump on his trampoline (instead of fast feet) or how to switch his fish lamp on and off, he works sooo hard until he gets it.

I watched him for a bit before sitting down and playing with him and he was perplexed at the magnetic ends vs. trains with no magnets. You could just see his brain working. "Why don't these two sides stick? OoO! These sides stick!" *Proceeds to break apart and re-do*

When I sat down with him, he started to bring trains out one by one to add to our line.

By the time he broke apart this train, we had 10 stacked end to end! Before bed, I asked him to put all the trains in the bin. One by one, he picked them up and placed (correction - threw) them in the bin. So cute.

This morning, we woke up and did our normal morning routine. What's the first thing he decides to play with? You guessed it....Trains!
