Buzz Lightyear Outfit...

I asked Mom to make me some shorts to go with my Buzz Lightyear shirt. These are a cotton weave -  not flannel -  so a little cooler for summer time. Here I am modeling them for her.

Trains, Trains, and More Trains...

These days I will disappear for long stretches of time to play trains. Because Bebe Sister likes to pull the track apart I have to seek refuge in my room. The track in these first photos was found at a thrift store a couple years ago. Great find, Mom. However, I am getting to where I'd like a bit more sophisticated set up.





Dad had a train and some wooden track from his days as a little guy. He pulled them out of the garage storage area and we sat down to play trains after Sister went to bed. They fit my track and trains perfectly.




Here are the old trains side by side with the new trains.



Thanks, Dad, for the new additions to my train set. Now Bebe Sister and enjoy hours of fun playing trains. However, I still like some quiet train playing time, too.

Here are a couple of videos of one of my longer train playing sessions. They are broken into two separate videos. Mostly, Mom and Dad wanted to post these so I could watch them whenever I wanted. If you are at all familiar with Thomas the Tank shows, it's kind of my own version. One thing I've learned from the show is train speak. You'll hear things like, "James buffered up" or "And then he chuffed away". It's also a mostly British show so occasionally I say these things with a bit of an accent.

Toys R Us

My very first trip to Toys R Us. I had saved for a new train - specifically I wanted a Spencer from Thomas the Tank and Friends. I was a little overwhelmed but I only left with what I went in for. And Mom and Dad said they were smiling because I did not have the "gimmies".

Home Depot...

Whenever Dad has to make a Home Depot run, I like to tag along so we can stop and look at the lawn mowers. I like the ones I can sit on so I can pretend to drive them.

From Our Cabin Trip...

 These were taken during our nature walk while staying at Grandma and Grandpa's mountain lake cabin.


With the walking stick I picked up along the way.
