Show me how you drive that train! 

"Davey's been working on the railroad..."

If you would have told me 3 years ago that my child would LOVE trains, I might have laughed at you- but this train thing is for real. So as a good Mommy- I make sure that I feed the need. Davey, my Mom and I went to Baltimore for a trade show and of course there is the B&O railroad museum that my child must visit.
What amazed me, and seemed not to effect Davey in the slightest, was the sheer size and magnitude of these trains. Davey walked around saying, "Mommy, check this out!", and "Wow, Mommy, come see this!"
We spent several hours there inspecting the trains and trying to determine our favorite one. It was a wet and cold day so no train rides, but you would never have known he missed out. He was so excited to be around trains and watched them intently telling me this one looked like Thomas, and this one is like Percy. I love to watch his mind working and taking it all in. We had a good rest of the trip visiting the Inner Harbor area and of course the trade show was fun. But the memories were made on the Railroad.

Davey turns 3

Davey turns 3, and what a party. Over the past year Davey and I have met several kids his age and they were all invited to the "party". They had fun playing with his Thomas Trains and the other toys in the playland called his room. He was so excited to have friends over, he could have cared less about a birthday- until it came time to the presents. That part was much different than last year. He ripped into trains, art supplies, books, muscial toys, and much more. Thanks to everybody that came and enjoyed a fun and busy evening of celebrating my little sweet pea!

UT Football spans generations

This is actually Davey's 2nd Tennessee Homecoming Football game- (but he slept thru 1/2 of the game last year) so this is the first game of interest. What a game- pouring rain and we only stayed till half-time but of course he was with his "Poppy" and that made it better. We had a game day pretzel and I even broke down and purchased some M&M's b/c another little boy had some. We clapped, sang Rocky Top, and Davey had his first look thru binoclures. WOW was that a COOL thing. He spent most of the time with those and then it was time to head home. Maybe next year he can learn the meaning of "tailgating"!

Davey's Knoxville Birthday

Davey turns the big "3"- at least in Knoxville on Saturday. This was our first party with active toddlers and boy did we have a great time. Lots of activity and toy sharing- well not that much- and many awesome gifts from great aunts and Davey's Lou & Poppy. We "all" had yummy cake and a Thomas "choo choo" train theme. Thanks to all my wonderful friends and Davey's fabulous Aunts and cousins. We can't wait till next year!
