djooo! djooo!

we have an new obsession in this house... trains. i guess it isn't a new obsession since jeremy loves trains too, but quentin is now a huge train fan. every time we drive through a railroad crossing (which is a lot around here - 2 crossings each way to and from day care!) he starts chanting "djooo djooo" in the back seat. last night he discovered a train book in his room and insisted on sleeping with it and then bringing it in the car to day care this morning. plus, since my car is out of commission we've been driving jeremy to the train to get to work so we can have his car. and, if we get to the station a couple of minutes early we get to see an additional train heading in the other direction. he was beaming when the railroad crossing lights and bells came on for the first train tonight. then daddy got out of the car so he cried a little, until he could hear the next train coming and then daddy was all but forgotten. he cried again when the train left and i started the car to head home. i may need to memorize the train schedules and use that for extremely cranky days!
