Here comes the choo-choo train

Miles has long been in love with trains. Up in Soda Springs, where no actual trains were available, Miles invented his own game of lining up chairs sequentially and turned them into a "train" where I then recite a nursery rhyme.





One of the most amazing gifts of Soda Springs has been watching Miles' imagination just blossom. We've seen it emerge lately as he has played with his kitchen and cooking, but up there without TV and the readily available entertainment of other kids at daycare, Miles was forced to come up with his own games. He had no problem doing it. Cars had voices and adventures. Animals were created, and trains were made from chairs.
