Bentley continues to love the train set that we purchased for him last December. Every time he visits our home he plays with trains on the track. Until last week the track had been set up on the fireplace ledge. Once a month--more or less depending on Jake & Viva's deconstruction--we'd change the track layout, but usually train play involves running the trains on the track with no change in track layout.
As much as we all love the train set, last week (for reasons that will be revealed in an upcoming post) we took the train tracks apart and stored them away. We kept out a few trains, two bridges, a tunnel, and a small selection of track pieces.
Now when Bentley wants to play with the train set he first has to set up the track. It's a new way for him to play with the train set. Mark and I are having fun with him creating new track layouts.
On Sunday morning after setting up the track and playing with it for a while, Bentley started straddling the track and waiting for Lady, the battery operated engine, to run between his legs. If you look closely you can see her on the track.
Soon he convinced his grandpa to join the fun--although grandpa didn't do donkey kicks.
So far we haven't tried to set up the track when the twins are around. I don't think they'd allow us to get a continuous track set up. They'd be taking it apart faster than we could get it together.

It is so much fun to play at a two year old's level! There ideas of humor really are funny!
