Trains, trains, trains

You can't wonder why we love the Thomas wooden trains after seeing this picture! You also can't wonder why we need so much track. How else can three kids play on one track??

I am completely amazed at the little engineer Jonah has become. This train set is an amazing educational tool, and he thinks it's a toy. Ha! We were at Books A Million one day looking at the Thomas trains, and a lady commented to me that some of the risers for the track look nice but they fall down even after gluing them. I didn't really understand what she was saying until we left the store. Now, I'm wondering who on earth would glue the track pieces together? Doesn't everyone know that the value in the train set comes from engineering different track layouts? The train engines are just decorations! I wish I could go back and show her the light. Jonah and I have fun one-upping each other trying to make the fanciest tracks.
