we are a fan of trains around here.
this is our favorite book these days.
and since we live a stone's throw from the tracks, the choo choo is our regular lullaby. (though really not always a fan of falling asleep to that...)
so when i got the little man dressed in our awesome hand-me-down conductors cover alls, i decided that it inspired a field trip down to the tracks.

although actually trying to get brave enough to put him down for a picture on the tracks was a different story -insert paranoia here-
