Since Jac is "Thomas the Tank Engine," he is always talking about pulling coaches. One winter day, I decided to poke holes in some old shoe boxes and packing boxes and string them together to make his own train. It was great for hours of entertainment, and as a bonus, plenty of wintertime exercise, which is not always easy. He was so happy running circles in the house and peeping. Like Thomas, sometimes he was pulling passengers, and sometimes freight. Mostly he was just having fun being a "really useful engine." He was also thrilled to pose for pictures as Thomas the Tank Engine.

It's wonderful to watch children using their imaginations when they are playing. Helping them find ways to do this can be so much fun for a parent !
