Day 166 - Trains

When Katelyn was 2 or 3, I got her a Dora the Explorer train set.  I loathe this toy.  The tracks don't meet up right, the yellow house doesn't connect right, only one door opens with the train even though all 3 look like they should.  The cars don't connect right (we have two that can only be the front unless one rides backwards.)  It's just crazy annoying.  Katelyn would insist that we play with it and then cry when it wouldn't work the way it should.  Eventually, it got boxed up and hidden in the back of a closet.  This week, Emily decided she loves cars and while we were digging out cars, I found the train pieces, which made Katelyn insist we get the train out.  Luckily, her 7 year old self understand much better than her 3 year old self, that you can't play with the whole track unless you don't want to use the yellow house and your track will always have a bump in it where the last two pieces don't connect right, and she and Emily have been having so much fun the last few days messing with it!  This morning, it's the first thing they wanted to do when they got up!
