Hooray for Getting Back on Track

I am so excited to finally be optimistic about getting back to what should be our schedule. Aidan is doing so well; he’s just a different kid. He’s constantly saying, “Mama! Hear those noises?” He hears the trains again. I thought he’d grown out of getting excited everytime a train went by. No, he had just been unable to hear them.
Friday we joined a group of moms out at CawCaw Interpretive Center, a state park. Aidan had a great time running around with the other kids. The weather was perfect; there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. If it weren’t for the yellow tinge to everything, it looked more like October than March. I’m not sure what the black pots in the picture were for, to me they look like mosquito breeding vats. Yum-o


Today, I’m going to be brave and hit the library after the gym. I just may be a glutton for punishment.

I’ve always loved trains as well. My boys and I dug up my old model railroad a few weeks ago. I used to have a huge set up at my parent’s house when I was a kid. When I moved off to college, they put everything away. Luckily they saved everything in an old trunk. I was amazed that the engines and transformer still worked after 20 years! We set up some track in a spare room and got the trains rolling again. The boys loved it.

My boys still love to go and visit a train museum we have in downtown. They run a huge HO scale railroad that runs 3 or 4 trains at a time. We usually go there every other Saturday. You should look it up and see if there is one in your area. I’m sure your son would love it.
