Sawyer

On Saturday afternoon, the three of us went to an open house at one of the preschools Abby and I are considering for Sawyer. Unfortunately we had the wrong day, but since we were already half-way there, I suggested we go down to Burlingame for a bit. I also promised Sawyer that he would see some trains.

I knew things were going well when we were stopped for a red light and heard the bing-bing-bing of the crossing signal. We were right on the track, so Sawyer got to see his first big train up close (he and I watch videos of trains on YouTube all of the time). Once it passed we raced along side of it down to Burlingame Avenue. You can imagine he was thrilled, he talked about it all the way to the park.

Once there, he was far more interested in the wheel:

During dinner, I checked the schedule for the trains and saw that another one would be coming through soon. We paid our check and walked quickly to the station. Sawyer was speechless once it arrived:

Of course he then talked about “choo choo traina” the entire way home.

On Sunday afternoon, we went back to see the preschool. Sawyer wasn’t much for sitting inside so he and I went out back to play in the yard:

He would only go to school for four hours a day, two or three days a week, but judging from the 20 minutes we spent in the yard, it would more than wear him out:

I love that when I ask him to say “bye-bye, Sawyer” he replies “bye, Sawyer” as he runs away. He has no idea how cute that is.
