A plug for Thomas' stacking risers

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUE SUE!

As most of you know Carson LOVES trains. I know for Christmas when he was 1, he got his fist Thomas track. His 2nd birthday was a train party. He still loves to play with trains. He still loves the wooden railway stuff, but he also likes electric trains. This weekend we were at the train store for Carter's birthday party. We told Carson we would get him some stacking risers for his Thomas track after the party. We have lots of different pieces, but these can be stacked and if you have enough you could take the track from the table down to the floor. There is a picture of this in one of the Thomas "year books" also known as the book that gives little boys big ideas on how to spend their parents money. Anyway, we told him about a month ago we would get one set for him after the party. Of course we have already tried them out. Although the 3 we have are not enough to go from the floor to the table, these things are awesome. They stay together better than any other risers we have in our collection. I promise you it is a bunch. So, for all of you with little boys who might get into Thomas, I encourage you to start early on the stacking riser rather than the other elevated track foundation or the ascending track risers. Maybe one of you will be lucky and Carson will be over his train phase and you can just by all of our train stuff used. Actually when I think about it, I probably have enough for all of you with little boys. Of course, if your son is already born, I don't see Carson getting over it any time soon. They really are great toys for boys. One day, I will tell you all the things I think Carson has learned playing with his trains.
On another note, my friend Shahla called this morning after dropping Carter off at school. Hanging on the wall at Carter's school was what the kids were thankful for this year. Carter has said he is thankful for Carson. It is really is fun for me to see Carson's friendships grow!
