A new era of luxury -- trains off the floor!
So far, all of Isaac's choo-choo adventures have occurred in the living room, on the living room rug. That is really the only place with enough space for tracks of significant entertainment levels to be built; it also conveniently doubles as being right in front of the TV so that the Head Track Engineer can get his Headline News on while he does his daddy duty. However, inspired by the exorbitant prices Dada has seen for Thomas tables and the recent acquisition of an ungodly number of power tools, Dada, with his own two hands (and said power tools), built Isaac a train table today:
It's not quite finished yet. The sides are all solid board, and I have been promised that they will be cut out and fashioned into "legs" to allow for storage underneath the table. Dada also has an itch to paint the sides of the table with red enamel, to match Isaac's new dresser. But as Dada is going out of town for four days starting Monday, he felt it necessary to deliver the highly useable, if unfinished product, for our entertainment while he's gone.
It's so very nice to have a handy Dada around. And did I mention he built the whole thing, and it is sturdy enough to jump on, for 15 bucks?

I wouldn't know what it is like to have a handy husband who knows how to use power tools... I am SO jealous. THat train table is awesome... and is going to be awesomer (is that a word?) still! Isaac is one lucky little dude! :)
Oh man we bought our train table for $130! And serves the same purpose. What a great idea and kudos for Dada!
That's awesome that you have a handy hubby around. Mine can't do squat!!
