The Engineer

Last year for Christmas, Rudy got his train table. We debated at the time whether we should glue the track pieces down or not and finally decided not to (the reason we considered doing it is we were afraid Rudy would take it apart all the time and get frustrated when it didn't go back together easily). Almost a year later and, until about a month ago, Rudy hadn't taken his train apart more than once or twice. But in the last month, he has decided he wanted to change it, taken the tracks apart, and redone them himself. Sometimes he needs a little help when he gets to the end and both sides are the same kinds (both outs or both ins), but other than that he is very independent and has been changing it several times a week. So I am thinking maybe he will be an engineer or an architect. Bill, it looks like your nephew may be taking after you.

One of his latest masterpieces.

The proud engineer.
