Over the past week, we've enjoyed watching Thompson revel in two of his newest interests: "The Polar Express" and puzzles. He'd watch "The Polar Express" on automatic replay if we'd let him! So, when he hasn't gotten enough of the movie, he will reenact the movie on his imaginary trains (the kitchen barstools or bed in the playroom)...including using his socks as coal to shovel into the engine, a flashlight as the lantern and a bell as the train's bell and "the first gift of Christmas". And as for puzzles, we are continually amazed at his deductive reasoning skills! We certainly never thought he'd be able to complete a 60-piece puzzle all by himself.
