Sam the Conductor
We try and be the best parents we can, which means that we do some things right and other, well wrong. But Sammy boys toy management is something we do pretty good. Sam has a lot of toys and that’s not due to us buying him any… He’s got a family that spoils him something fierce. So we’ve implemented a toy rotation system that encompasses the whole house. The basement, living room and Sam’s bedroom are his play areas and as the toys cycle down to the basement, they are slowly moved into boxes and out of circulation. This keeps the amount of toys available to him at a reasonable level, and ensures he’s got new things to play with every now and then. This time we whipped out the Thomas train set my brother gave Sam. Let me tell you, every night after we pick Sam up from daycare, its “Choo-Choo?”. Sam just can’t wait to bust through the front door and get at the train set. He doesn’t even wait for us to take his boots or winter coat off..

The Thomas toy train is battery powered that is activated by a big button on the top. When Sam discovered this, we no longer had to play with him while prepping supper. He just loves this train. He loves breaking up the track that Dad took 20 minutes to figure out… And putting it back together again. We have to tear him away from this thing when leaving for work in the morning. He even places the Thomas engine in the tunnel and says “Dodo choo-choo”… Priceless folks. So, I guess we owe Mike a big “thank you” for the train set!!!
