For Family Home Evening, Lennard decided to pull out his train set. Ben was thrilled when he discovered that daddy had trains! Emma was interested…until it took a while to get set up and working and then she was ‘bored’. The neatest thing about this train set is that it used to be my father-in-laws when he was a child. He told me that his Grandpa Nichols had given it to him. Too cool to know that three generations of Nichols boys have played with these trains now!
Ben really got into it and was so excited when the locomotive finally started making its way around the track. It didn’t work very well and Lennard is going to try to clean it all up and see if it will work any better, but it was enough for Ben to enjoy. He figured out how the tracks went together and took great pride in helping daddy fix them.
Here are a couple of the cars, there are others too, but I just didn’t take pictures of all of them.
I love seeing his concentration in this picture. He managed to get all the cars on the tracks pretty well by himself. What a smart boy (and a proud dad moment!)
