Trains, Planes and Automobiles


Liam is officially nuts for trains! He can't seem to get enough of his "choo-choos" - they go to bed with him and they are the first thing he asks for in the morning. We can see the trains go through town from our front window which gives Liam even more thrills than playing with his trains. Even when Liam wakes up in the middle of the night, he likes to look out the window to see if the train is going past.

Liam also likes to give me a running commentary as we drive down the highway. When he sees a semi truck in the on-coming lane he exclaims, "Mama!" and he's not happy unless I say, "Oh, yes, Liam, there's a big truck!" Then I have to wave to the truck as it passes (there must be a lot of confused truck drivers out there). Once the truck is out of view I hear, "Mama!" again and Liam signs that the truck is all gone. We repeat this multiple times per trip because Liam's never tires of it, even if I get weary!

From Grandma Town's living-room window, Liam can see the airplanes taking off from the airport - he's very impressed by these fancy flying machines! Liam also had the chance to visit Nialle at work and watch his daddy drive around in the fork lift. Liam's face lit up when he saw his dad behind such an impressive machine!


Nialle and Liam working hard together!

Aren't boys fun?! I love that little boys are so fascinated with anything that moves, makes noise, and is powerful.

Uncle Josh was once that fascinated with cows...every. time. we. passed. one. in the van, we ALL had to go Mooooo! Uncle Levi loved backhoes. His first sentence was "The backhoe is dirty!"
I love watching Liam and his trains, and now I realize what probably woke him up when he slept over here...there were no trains! He woke up at 2:30 and was pointing to the door of his bedroom saying "Chooo-chooo?" This Grandma was clueless...though I did bring him Thomas to sleep with.
