Not sure if we still have any trains around though :)<br /><br />Glam: I'm so glad that your daughter enjoyed watching the video! My kids have a blast making them and they love when other people enjoy watching them.<br /><br />Lori: You're right -- that's the perfect example of childhood problem solving :)<br /><br />LiLa: I'm pretty sure my kids are more creative than me. They're certainly more patient -- stop-motion animation takes a LOT of time. But they love doing it so to them it's just fun!Sherrie Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11670339498152684137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011133488035315179.post-76680130066376070752010-04-18T05:23:30.722-07:002010-04-18T05:23:30.722-07:00I AM BLOWN AWAY!

That says a lot of about your parenting, Sherrie, that he's confident enough to work toward his dreams at such a young age.<br /><br />Can I request he do a Thomas the Tank Engine one?
