Vegetables and Trains!

When we were back in Wisconsin for Thanksgiving Finn played with Lanny's old toy. One of the toys was a set of cooking utensils and plastic food. The food could be "cut" with the tools by wedging them between pieces of Velcro holding them together. Finn played with that set during the trip and seemed eager to continue playing with them when we got home. That's when Christmas came to town.

We got him a set of his own, but rather than the sandwich set, he got fruits, vegetables, and a "knife" with which to chop them. Here he as chopping in high-speed.




The gift that defined this year was that from first-cousins-once-removed, Kate and Emily. They gave Finn an Emily train (with tender) from the Thomas collection. Finn was attached to them from that point on.


The gift set the ton for his birthday, which fed into the train obsession.

I fully acknowledge that this video is not exciting, but it shows how Finn is very intense when playing with the train and tunnel.
