Mason and the little chairs


Mason has a book, "Meeow and the little chairs." It is the story of a cat, Meeow, and his friends, baa, moo, quack and woof. Needless to say, these are Mason's favorite animals sounds to make. Anyhow, Meeow uses his imagination to take his chairs and make a train for him and his friends. We have read this book every night before bed for about a month. Mason has his own set of chairs and table in his room and earlier this week, we were playing down stairs and he ran upstairs, brought down his chairs and proceeded to put his animals in the chairs. He grabbed his bell and train whistle (both used in the book) and was so proud of the train he made!

Every day this week, he has used his chairs to make a train and on Friday, I finally had time to grab the camera and capture Mason and his train. Here are a few of my favorites. (if you look close in the background- you can see Reagan laying in Mason's "big boy bed!"


The red blur Mason is waving is his bell!

I love his passengers are a duck, a lion, a donkey and a rabbit.

Apparently the donkey didn't hear the bell.



And the lion and duck want to switch places....


He has a train hat, but insists on wearing his John Deere one.



Reagan, in the meantime, is laying in bed reading her own book.


After all that play, Mason decided he needed to relax with sister!

  1. Books can take us so many places! So happy to see Mason enjoying his books, literally! So glad you are encouraging a love for books at such an early age in both of your children! Reminds me of my favorite bookmark(Kate got it in elementary school): "The more you read,
    The more you know. The more you know, The smarter you grow. the smarter you grow,
    The stronger your voice, When speaking your mind, Or making a choice"
    Love, Aunt Cherry
