Cousins, Trains and Transformers

Two weeks ago marked the first time I've been to the Portland Children's Museum. Jeanne and Daylon, at least once before. What a fun place! Each little venue was uniquely entertaining, the featured set being of Curious George. We didn't quite make it to the Curious George area but it goes on until June I believe. I don't think Daylon would mind it one bit if we went back a few more times. Especially if at the same time while taking in all the sights and sounds of the museum he can do so enjoying the time with his cousin Kaia. We had set up a play date for the cousins. It was such a treat to see the two of them have so much fun together. Pictures!

    

 

  

Daylon has recently starting building 'trains' using his toy cars and trucks. If that wasn't cute enough anytime we would ask Daylon about his trains or show him pictures of trains he would answer 'choo choo'. When we show him rabbits, 'bop bop bop'. How. Fun! Here is a picture of one of his trains.

A few of Daylon's train creations have included using GoBots I had brought out for him from storage. I grew up playing with GoBots, G.I. Joe, Star Wars of course, Transformers. It's been a blast digging through boxes finding and busting out 25+ year old hearty metal vintage toys I had as a young lad and handing them down for my son to play with. This photo link I posted a few days ago via Twitter shows the latest Transformer I handed to Daylon to enjoy playing with. A small coffee treat for whoever guesses correctly the name and year of the Transformer. I'm still figuring out the timing for when I want to bring out the ultimate Transformers keepsakes; original Megatron and JetFire. I still have all the accessories to go with them as well. Yeah, nerd. But Daylon will have jealous friends. And that's pretty important =).
