Choo? See?

When Isaac says this it means it's time to go for a walk to see the trains (the metro) and swing ("see") at the hospital playground. I've hit the jackpot on walks! I know that lots of pregnant women can run throughout their pregnancy but I'm a wimp and had to stop two weeks ago. I cried out of sorrow that we couldn't run to Forest Park anymore because we love it there but it's too far. But Isaac likes this even more! Sometimes I get a nice long walk twice a day! The metro security guys are beginning to recognize us.

Isaac is OBSESSED with trains. He's never quite hit anything like this. More than half the words out of his mouth are "choo". If he lines up cars, it's "choo". If he lines up foam letters in the bath, it's "choo". If we color, it's "choo" (and I have to draw one). If we drive close to where the metro is, he points and says "choo". I think I'm going to have to make this little man a train costume for Halloween.

I put a vote on the side--we can't decide where we want to go to residency! We would love to stay here because Washington University has a great program. We'd love to go to Utah and let our kids play with their relatives. And we'd love to go somewhere new to have one last adventure before we settle down for real. What do you think?

Be adventurous! You'll probably be stuck in Utah for the rest of your lives. Take advantage of this in-between time!

Callum is also in a train fetish stage! "Choo choo" is his favorite word to say over and over and over again.....to buses. We have a little learning left to do apparently. Every bus and semi truck on our road trip was "choo choo." We're working on "beep beep" or "vroom vroom" instead, but it's pretty cute and funny in the meantime.

You should take Isaac on the little train at the zoo! It's $5, but he'd probably lose his mind with excitement. :) I voted on your thing, but it's not showing up. Weird.

Good luck choosing where to go on your next adventure!

Jacob is also so obsessed with trains. Some of his first words were "choo choo" and he plays with his toy trains that he got for Christmas every day. If you ever come visit southern California, we have some great old train museums and parks with train rides for kids.
