Goodbye Train Table

Ben was our huge helper again the other day. We had been offered a train table by the Stewarts but in order to make it fit in the basement, Ben had to choose to keep the train table or a small climbing structure. He opted for the train table. We gave the climbing thing away and set up the train table. He was so incredibly excited! He played with his trains on it for about two days before he decided it was too small for him and he couldn't build enough on the table top. Back to the floor he went with his creations. After a month of not using it, I decided it was silly to keep it around. I talked to him about giving it to another kid that might need a train table and he pretty quickly agreed that we should share it. Probably the best part of having the train table was taking it apart to give to the next family. He loves to use the cordless drill and did almost the entire thing by himself. I just supported the pieces while he took out the screws. He was very proud of his work.
