So lovely, so simple, so right. 
It isn't often that the gift you think will be perfect actually is.
 But this time we had a winner. 
A simple wooden train was all Simon got for big day. 
Each of the six cars was individually wrapped and each got a wow from Simon. 
He has already shown us how trains can fly and how to transport stolen jewelry. 
You can even use an engine to cast spells in a pinch,
and a box car is perfect for running off the nasty family cat.

It's good to be slowing down and not burying our child in stuff.  
He is so full of himself, so joyful and easy. 
Can you tell he's asleep?
