Train Table for a Big Boy!

When Liam was a bit smaller, he was promised a train table. Liam had to work very hard to earn his train table. The agreement was the Liam could have his train table when he had no more diapers and no more accidents. A boy who knows how to take a break from playing to go use the potty is old enough to take care of a very nice toy, with lots of pieces, like a train set. (Liam also considered that with all this talk about potty *training* there must be a train involved somewhere.)

So this week, realizing that Liam hasn't had an accident in several weeks, Liam asked for his train table. Last night, we went to the store and picked out the one he wanted. It had to have a crane, just like his friend Carter's set. This morning, Liam was very patient while he and Daddy put the table together, and set up the track. He's proud of himself and he loves playing with his new toy!

Tonight Liam will go out trick-or-treating dressed as a dragon. The librarian thought he looked a bit like a Wild Thing from 'Where the Wild Things Are'. He loves to roar.

Tomorrow Liam will be 2 years and 8 months old. He is three feet tall, weighs 33 pounds, and is potty trained.
