Sultry Husband spent part of the afternoon cleaning out the garage. It is always amazing to me, the things that you can find in a garage. He found an old friend today. The truly sad part was that M didn’t even remember this toy.
This old friend is the Geo Trax train system. We bought it quite a few years ago, but she never really showed interest in it. The box said that it was for ages 2+ so, I thought that my three year old would enjoy it. The main problem for us was that L was just learning to crawl, and thus would pull the train off the track at every turn. It provided for more fights and screams than happy moments. So, I put it away in a box. When we moved, that box was moved with us. Put in a corner of the garage and forgotten.
When SH found it again tonight, we knew it would be a hit. It was a completely new toy, and the girls were so excited! They are now asking Santa for more track and vehicles for the geo trax system. This is a rather large step away from the ponies and unicorns that have thus far been professed to be the favorite.
Geo trax here we come.
