First Train Ride

Dave took Brandon on his first train ride.  They took the big train just a few stops up, and then I left a car for them so they could join me at my parents’ house.  I had some grocery shopping to do and wanted to be as efficient as possible, so my mom met me at the grocery store and drove me back to their house after I was done.  They went to the Art and Wine festival along the way.  Brandon brought along one of his Thomas trains (a small one).  He thought he was going to ride on Thomas, like at Six Flags, but I told him this train was grey, not blue or green, like Thomas or Percy.   Dave said Brandon had a lot of questions.  He said the train was pretty quiet, so I can just imagine Brandon’s little pip-squeaky voice going a mile a minute about “Why?” and “Where?”   He even wanted to know where I was going and why I wasn’t going with them when I dropped them off at the train station.   Dave said there’s a “California Ave” stop en route and when Brandon heard the conductor announce the stop, he asked Dave if they were going to California (like Mack and Lightning McQueen in Cars).  Dave had him in the stroller at first, then had him on his lap to look out the window.  Also, going northbound, the engine is in the back, which allows riders to sit in the front and gaze out at open track.  Dave said this was a little scary; you hear so much about people getting hit on the The same way medicine manufacturers sell medicines containing the same active ingredient.Kamagra products work on the same principle like the actual long leg idea – patch up the particular joint parts and set it up on the proper position of the joint socket . cost levitra lowest Cycles of chemotherapy may be given daily, weekly or monthly for various periods of time. viagra 20mg cipla Under this issue, generico cialis on line men fail to satisfy their female partner sexually unsatiated.

This morning, Brandon told me, “I went on the train with Daddy yesterday.”  I asked him what he did with his Thomas little train.  “I leaved it on the train.”  I told him I hope he hadn’t LEFT it on the train, then confirmed with Dave.  Dave said he didn’t leave it there, but didn’t quite know where it was – turns out my mom found it at their house.  At least we know he’s safe and sound.   (He slept in his own bed all night long!  Again, it helped that we got home late, and he was really sleepy.  I told him how proud I was of him sleeping in his own bed, and he just gave me a BIG SMILE in return.  I think he was proud, too.)
