You may or may not remember my post about Christmas morning and how little Sterling Henry threw up after opening his first gift. It sort of made the whole morning seem a little weird. We sort of recreated Christmas morning this morning only the reaction was AWESOME! It might have helped that the gift we got Sterling Henry was way cooler than the gifts Santa brought. (I guess we know him better!)
Ever since we went to train exhibit over the holidays Sterling Henry has been absolutely obsessed with trains. All he had was a three pack from Ikea and he LOVED them. He carried them everywhere and even slept holding at least one of them. We played with the idea of getting him a train set but felt like it was too close to Christmas and didn't want to SPOIL him.
I went to the temple yesterday morning and the boys stayed home and played. When I got home, Sterling asked me if I ever get bored of the toys we have and wondered if maybe I wanted to get something new to play with. How kind of him right?!? He wanted to make sure I didn't get bored playing with the little man all day. The next thing I knew, we were buying the coolest train set. Sterling had done lots of research and we decided to go with the Melissa and Doug set. It helped that it was on a killer sale. Anyway, we carried it out to the car and put it in the trunk and Sterling Henry threw a fit. Dad saved the day and put it on the seat next to him so he could touch the box the whole way home.
We got home late last night after hanging out with friends but set it up anyway. When he got up this morning it was the BEST! The reaction was everything I had hoped for and more. Here is a little video of how happy he is with his new choo choo!
*I will try the video again later. It is not working for now.
CHOO CHOO!
This picture is far and away my favorite. He looks so delighted in this picture. He has been this happy all day! I have to admit that this was the look I was hoping for on Christmas morning. Instead, we got it a month later.
Totally worth the wait!

What is it about boys and trains? This is the perfect thing to keep Sterling busy while you focus on the new babe.
