The boy likes trains, thank the gods. He and I have fun with the growing collection of Brio (and compatible) toys that we're accumulating.

Here are some photos of our work.

sometimes Kenny plays, too

The boy's actually pretty good at getting the toy tracks together, and he's got good creativity when it comes to getting a solution when the tracks don't want to fit. He's been playing with similar tracks at e the day care for some time, and it shows in the natural way he sets to building and tearing down the kits.
