Keeping the boy busy

So Christopher had a very full day yesterday! After being at school, playing with his friends all day, we went downtown to hang out in "the big city" for a while. A former professor of mine was in town for an early childhood conference so we took her over to Union Station to check out the train exhibits they have there. The KC Rail Experience now has a free exhibit of model trains so we meandered through that for like 45 minutes. Buds was enamored with everything he saw! Here is just a small piece of what was there...

As we were checking out the model trains, I began thinking about how many such train exhibits we have seen in the past year and, well, it's just too many to count! Dare I say we are becoming experts? Anyway, it was very nice to see my professor and since she is a child development expert, it was fun to hear her talking with Christopher too! She also got him a little gift at the Union Station gift shop (a little train that he picked out--shocking!) and he hasn't stopped playing with it yet...

As if the train museum wasn't enough, we then visited Daddy at his office! When Christopher walked in he said, "Daddy I love your office!" and later he asked, "Daddy do you like this office?" He also briefly entertained Brian's coworkers and picked some stocks along the way. Here are my boys!

It was getting late when we got to the office so we all decided to just go ahead an have dinner on the Plaza at Eden Alley Cafe. By the time we got home, our little man was wiped out (although you'd never know it by the amount of energy he put into resisting teeth brushing, face washing, and pajama time). It was a long, fun day for everyone!
