Kai's Cars

For anyone who has ever met Kai, they know how much he adores everything that has to do with CARS!

He has gotten into much mischief in the name of getting to watch the traffic go by from the comfort of the living room.

Our living room is actually in the back of the house, but he discovered that he could see in between the neighbor's houses and watch the traffic going down Creswell if he was only tall enough.

So, Kai found ways to become tall! He climbed up on the sewing table that he would drag from its usual place as an end table next to a set of chairs.

He much preferred it under the window for such activities! Once we had relocated that table to the hallway, he was forced to drag chairs from the dining room table over into the living room and try an put them at the window so that he could watch for CARS!

He is very persistent and is undaunting in his quest to be able to see those cars!

Kai has even learned to count the cars, all on his own, too! He knows exactly how many cars are in the neighbor's driveway over on Creswell and can tell you the correct number depending on who is at home over there!

He is very sweet to his cars, too. He keeps them in his train-table drawer so that they are always handy and ready to play with.

He doesn't use his train track for his train set, either. Nope, he likes to use that track for his beloved cars to drive upon!

In fact, he has mastered the art of putting the train track together properly all in the name of being able to race his cars around it.

He even can use the station house with the little stop and go arm on it for his cars!

Yesterday, I caught him setting up his garage full of match-box cars right next to a newly-built train track set in a perfect oval with a small extension coming off of it, complete with a bridge leading over to the little tyke's garage.

Kai loves cars soo much, that he is always waiting and wondering when his next car ride will be!

If he is sad, I can just put him in the van, and take him for a ride on the interstate to make him feel better.

My kids find the interstate more fun than an adult on a roller coaster! In fact, you might think you were on a roller coaster from the squealing and excited noises coming from Kai in the backseat!

I shudder to think of what his little boy life would be like without his CARS!
