stop this train

For the first time he asked me to come play.
He used words.

"Come do trains mommy."
So I did.

He told me where to sit.
What to move.


Then mostly I watched him.
I watched him and thought of his brothers. How had time passed so fast that they were no longer playing with them?
Six years ago I had no idea that these trains would get more use by the 3rd boy, than the first two.
