Yesterday, Megan and Jake got to take their first train ride. We have a Metra stop about a block away, so we got geared up in the morning, walked down to the train station and happily waited for our train. We were standing on the platform and a few people were on the other side, waiting for the southbound train. Jake turned into Mr. Social. As soon as someone new walked out onto the platform, he would say, "Hi....good". Yes, that's Jake's latest thing. He used to say "hi" and then Darin would say, "how are you" and he'd say "good". Now it's an automatic thing....."Hi" pause, pause, "Good!"
We rode the train to Edgebrook, which is the very next stop and took all of 3-1/2 minutes. But, they each sat in their own seat and looked out the window and were thrilled with the ride. Once there, we visited Starbucks, where they had milk in a coffee cup and then we came home an hour later. Once the weather gets a little nicer, we'll make the trip downtown.
