Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Today the kids and I joined Caden and Ava from preschool at a place in town with tons of trains and other modes of transportation for the kids to explore and climb on. We started out in their Imagination Station room. It had a big boat (that looked like the Ark), craft areas, dress up, and tons and tons of trains, as well as a very strange lady running it. The kids loved it. John played mostly with the pirate dress up clothes and the trains. Rebecca was all over the place. Natalie spent most of her time coloring. The woman in charge kind of bothered me. She first commented on the girls being twins and how much fun that must be, which was fine. Then she kept telling me how Rebecca was her favorite. Over and over again. Then after Natalie came over and handed her a crayon, the lady told me that she changed her mind and that Natalie was her favorite and is so much cuter and must be a very sensitive little girl because she was sharing her crayon. She even asked me which girl was my favorite. It was really quite strange. For the record, I think both girls are freakin adorable and they are both my favorites. :) After leaving crazy lady we went and explored the trains outside. John and his friends climbed inside them and pretended to drive. They also got to go inside a boat. There was an airplane, but by the time we got through with everything else I had to tell John it was closed for the day because we had to get home for naps. I think next time I will try to take John alone. It was hard to keep up with the 4 year olds while still keeping track of Natalie and Rebecca.
