Woo Woo Train

We have a whole lot of woo around here.  Woo is a good thing.  There’s the woo woo train.  If we say, “Woo, woo,” the boy perks his ears, and starts looking for his train, crawling about with an air of keen determination.  When he finds it, he presses the part that makes the woo woo sound, and off it goes.  It’s a great toy.  His second-cousin has one, which is how we discovered it.  It has turned out to be one of his favorite toys.  The woo woo train.  It’s actually a Fisher Price Peek-a-Block Press and Go train.  It has neat lights and it drives forward, makes funny train sounds like woo woo and plays some various melodies as it moves the blocks.  Some spin and some move up and down.  Very clever toy.

 

The other woo we’re enjoying is the woo hoo in the black horse and cherry tree song by KT Tunstall.  I don’t know why, but I’m really digging this song.  It’s just one of those things that appeals to me for some reason that I can’t quite pinpoint.  It’s sort of bluesy but upbeat and fun at the same time.  I really like the woo hoos.

Like the top bar! And some of us know it is you….

Has the dear one discovered Thomas the Tank yet Our oldest LOVED the stories and the trains (and the tracks and the buildings and and and). If we ever have a dog that doesn’t think anything on the floor is his to eat, we will un-earth the battered and beloved trains (Percy is my favorite—LOVE his attitude–little green engine number 6), the whole set is going under the Christmas tree. The videos are good too…teach good things to the kids without being preachy, religious, whatever…. all boils down to “be nice to each other.” And real-life…some of the trains have big egos, others are cranky, some are helpful, others learn their lessons….

Was bummed kinda when nubmer two son wasn’t really into (the small fortune invested in) the trains, but he likes dinosaurs. I know what a parasaurolophus is, and a coelophysis now. Hmmm…

OK, almost time for the bus to arrive with kidlet number two so will shut up. Looking forward to seeing what else this WordPress can do…
