Den calls this "Googlemaps to g'parents Ohio and Wisc." Eddie is continually talking about seeing the g'parents--when will they come, when will we go to see them. Well, since they are coming in sucessive weekends, starting tomorrow, he's not be asking quite so much, but this looks like he's pretty serious about that computer.
G'parents Ohio got him the above computer shortly after he turned two and I admonished them, saying he was too young (and I didn't really want him to play with electronics yet). I've since had a change of heart and embraced it as I don't him to be the only kid who doesn't know what a computer is--course whenver Den or I sit in front of our kitchen computer, he says, 'mommy typin' an email'. I am not kidding.
G'parents more recently sent him this new Brio train set. I'm not a huge fan of the character stuff--Dora, Thomas, etc. (not even Mickey), so while I know it's inevitable, I can avoid it as long as possible.
After I took the train out of the box, he started putting the track together himself and just needed help on the straight-away under the tunnel.
This past weekend I went to a couple yardsales (I don't remember the last time I did this, but I'm certainly going to start going more), as I landed this great blue car for $4. We cleaned it off and Eddie wanted to help---then he wanted to dry it off. So far he can only move it backward--it's kid propelled--think Fred Flintsone.

Good for you, trying to keep him unbranded as long as possible! It's hard in this day and age.
I had a Brio train set as a kid too. And look at me now! (Uh oh...)
