Our son has an interest in Thomas the Tank Engine. Everytime I walk out of nursery with him he holds his hand up and toot toot’s, like he is a rail engineer or something. It’s kinda cute and to further encourage him, we invested in his first wooden train set yesterday.

So now our living room has pieces of wooden track and trains all over the place wherever John can manage to scatter them.

No matter, because whilst he is in a non-destructive mood John trundles Thomas and a rail carriage around the track along with authentic Choo Choo sounds. It’s all very cute and makes me smile enormously.
