Edaville Railroad

Yesterday we took a trip to Edaville Railroad in Carver, MA

Both C and I have fond memories of this freezing cold winter wonderland

Only in NE do people bring their children out in frigid weather to ride trains and amusement rides!

Alex loved riding on the train and seeing all the lights (he did not want to pose for pictures!)

WOW - 2 family pictures in one trip - taken in one shot by two different really nice people!

Alex's first amusement ride - the nice thing about this place is there are rides just for little people! He LOVES the rides and was very upset when he had to get off!

Riding on the little train!

One thing I should have done is brought my "Big" camera - better flash and faster shutter - these pictures are disappointing. I hope the videos are better. Funny Alex is not smiling in any of these - too cold I think - and too shell shocked at all the fun things to do. Since this went so well I think the summer calls for a trip to Story Land and Santa's Village!!!

Big Boy Bed

Well, as you can see - there is no more crib - Alex is now officially in a big boy bed. We went over to Toys R Us last night to pick one up - because moron's that we are did not think we would use the "toddler bed" part of our convertible crib so did not buy the required parts. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Anyway, he has been in the bed for almost 20 minute - no crashes, no toys that I can hear and no little face at the gate at the top of the stairs. I think the test will be at 4 am when he normally wakes up and tries to climb out of his crib - which is what precipitated this big event in the first place. Wish us luck! And I think its time for some big boy sheets - maybe Thomas or Cars!
