Big Papa!

We had a great visit with Papa Wayne and Grammy Sue. They stopped for a few nights en route to pick up their new puppy. We all enjoyed their visit, but Simon especially took a liking to “Big Papa”.
We set up Simon’s birthday present, a train table, a bit early. Both Andy’s folks and my mom contributed so we thought it would be fun if Wayne and Sue were able to see how much he enjoyed it. Ramona was coy and adorable, smiling and talking. She especially enjoyed putting her fingers in Grammy’s mouth.
Here’s a pic of Simon with his trains and another of Ramona being flirty in her highchair…
Love, Jane.
What a great train table. We have a big train set from when Frost was younger but we have taken down the train table I made because we don’t have space for it. Also, it wasn’t as cool as your one.
By the way, Wren loves the train set and I wondered whether Ramona gets into it?
Wren breaks apart the track layout pretty quickly because he is obsessed with helping the engines go up the bridge or hill parts and pulls them off as he engineers the train moves. The Brio trains we have are ones with batteries which make a chuffing noise and they are not strong enough to go up some of the hills when fully loaded with trucks.
We went into a toy store recently to buy another Brio engine for Wren and they had stopped stocking Brio. They said it was because the company was purchased by Knex and the quality has declined. I am really suspicious about it and will have to buy them online instead because I don’t like Thomas trains as much.
Wow, great train! What an awesome toy for a little boy. I’m so glad you guys had a nice visit with family. Ramona’s picture is adorable. What a sweet face…and beautiful hair!
