trains and trampolines

On Christmas, the only gift that Riley received from us was the Fisher Price laptop. The rest of the gifts came from family members and Jonathan's friends & patients. So he had a good loot already from others.

Since Riley has shown a lot of interest in the train table at the library, we figured he was old enough to enjoy one of his own. We found a great deal for a pre-owned train table and Thomas train set on Craigslist that I purchased back in Nov. However, since the Christmas tree took up so much space in our living room/playroom, we had to wait until we took it down to get it all set up.

The table is an octagon, which makes it easy for him to get around it and will make it more fun to share with his friends. Here's J helping Riley set up the train tracks:













I love seeing my boys play together!













The other thing we decided to get for Riley is a trampoline. Our boy is a natural gymnast and uses our couch, ottoman, chair and bed for bouncing and launching himself off of. Time to give the furniture a break and give him something more constructive to use. J set this up for him today and he's pretty much spending the majority of his time on it.













A short video of him getting acquainted with his new toy:

I'm seriously thinking of putting him into a tumbling class when he turns 3 as his favorite activity seems to be to climb, jump, swing and run. After what we witness at home and at the playground, seems a fitting thing for our active boy.
