My kids loved Thomas the train and now my grandsons play with the trains and tracks leftover from when MY boys were little. It's so sweet.
And yes, distraction is the name of the game when they're little (and not so little!)
The haircuts make for great memories at least :)
Wonderful post. Congratulations on the new addition to your family!
Thanks for popping by @byn, lots of memories to be made he learns so fast. He loves real trains too, we live not too far from the train lines and he can hear when they approach the crossing. He always points out the door when he hears the horn.
