“I ride da traina!”

 - by Brittany

Friday, December 11th, the train ride was free at Redmond Town Center. We had a busy day, running errands, but we made it over for the train ride. Luckily, we were able to meet some friends there also. So we were all able to ride in one train car together. Jameson was so excited till we got on the train, then he wasn’t so sure. Once we started going, he loved it. The train drives all through the mall. (It’s an outdoor mall, with a main street down the middle, and run off streets.)

Jameson is big into trains right now. I mentioned earlier we watched “The Polar Express” 4 times in one night. Well we watch it all the time. I can’t decided if I’m a fan of DVR or not. It was on one night so I let Jameson watch it as we got ready for bed. It was already half way done, so I didn’t bother recording it. The next morning Jameson woke up saying, “I watcha traina!” Try explaining “It was on tv,” to a 2 year old.

So that night it was on again and I recorded it that time. Well everyday, we have had to watch it. Multiple times every day to be exact. Except DVR does not block out commercials, so every time there’s a commercial, I hear, “Mom! What happened to da traina?” This is not so fun.  So now I’m wondering if it was really worth it to record it. Especially in the morning when Jameson has woken up early, and I’m trying to get a little bit more sleep on the couch while he’s watching his train. Not so helpful, DVR.
