Like Grandfather - Like Grandson

So, a Jack post.  This will be short, but of course, sweet :).  Jack is a kind soul, very laid back and always giving out hugs and kisses.  He loves his "sissy" and wants nothing more than to read books.  Well, that's a lie - books are his second favorite.  His favorite thing to do...trains.  Not just play with trains...no, watch them, roll them, talk about them, read about them, even ride them.  I honestly never experienced anything like it.  I was always around girls so I didn't really know much about trains.  Well, we know all about them now.  We know about Thomas.  We have every book.  We know how to put train tracks together, how to build bridges, and how to find videos of trains just riding around - which he could watch for hours. 

So, what's the point, you ask?  Well, it's just interesting to me.  My dad, Jack's Papa, is a train fanatic himself.  I think when he's here, he enjoys playing just as much as Jack.  This past weekend, watching the train movie where they just ride around mountains, he spent the whole video telling Eric how they number the trains, how many wheels they have, what the cars are called, etc.  It's ridiculous.  What's worse is that we never really did much with trains with Jack.  From experience 1, he was hooked.  Like it was in his genes.  I mean, I knew you passed on eye color, hair color, and height, but a love of trains?  Of course, this daughter can only hope that a love of trains isn't the only trait Jack inherits from his Papa :)!  So, this weekend, when Papa takes Jack to his first model train show, there will be two boys floating on air and thinking they are in heaven!
