The Train Table


The maker and destroyer of new friendships.

Elise and I have carried Sam kicking and screaming from Barnes and Noble as though from a burning building no less than three times because of this contraption. We finally learned our lesson and had to abstain from B&N for a few months, but with proactive parenting (and a little bribery) we were able to return to one of Sam's favorite places. Just in time, thankfully, to find a place to hide from the fall rains I recall from my days in Baltimore.

...Though the punk in green in the photo above almost upset the delicately-balanced apple cart when he stormed into the picture snatching trains from the little paws of boys and girls left and right, including Sam. Fortunately his nanny or au pair or whatever stepped in so I didn't have to knock some sense in the kid.
