I don't know what it is about this kid, but I adore him. I don't know if it's because of all the hours we spent together, just the two of us, before Daniel was born or if it's his perfect temperament. Maybe it's because he's a little Mikey who is mellow, kind, cute, funny, easy going, playful, and goes with the flow. Or, maybe it's just because I'm his Mom. Regardless, we have a special bond and I just can't get enough of him--- unless it's nap time of course...  or when he's being naughty, or overly tired and dramatic, or making a disaster of one room or another, or.....

So, with that said, the cow train ride was the highlight of my 3rd of July night. James is a cuddler, but the older he gets, the busier he gets. I'm convinced he and Daniel will potty train at the same time because James is just too busy playing to take a time out and sit on the toilet. Why sit to poo if you can stand, play with toys, and poo in your pants?
Anyway, cuddling time happens less and less, not to mention I have a Daniel who takes up a big chunk of that time as well... so when I have the opportunity to cuddle with the kid, I take it. I loved this ride because James was cuddly and he let me just hold him, hug him, and kiss his head for the entire ride. We both would've loved to keep riding it if we hadn't caught the last ride of the evening. Me for the cuddling, and of course, James for the amazingly cool train ride being pulled by a tractor.
