Train ride

On Sunday we decided to go downtown via the train. I wanted to hit H& M for their annual sale (yeah!), and though Pepe would enjoy the train ride and the playground in the Boston Garden. Pepe was very excited about going "Go on a train, that'd be fun". We drove there and parked the car in the garage. Pepe squealed when we got the ticket to enter the garage, and the gate went up. He was thrilled to take the escalator down the stairs, and use the Charlie pass to get into the trains station. He loved the train ride, though he kept talking about how "it does not go", bc the dark was creating an illusion. We had to take a bus from central to Park bc of constructions, and so Pepe got his wish - a bus ride. In the bus, he kept shouting "Look at that, a crane, and another crane, and a digger, look at that" and everyone was smiling in the train. We passed MGH, and I showed him where I work. At some point he grabbed the bag on pretzels and he did not want to let go of it, even though he did not eat any (this keeps happening, hoarding food). At Park street I hit H7 M for a bit and the boys hit the playground. I returned with coffee and bagels. Pepe was good, mostly. He did squeak a bit when he was not allowed to go on the playground without shoes, or under the sprinkler with shoes, but he was mostly good. The ride back was similar and Pepe had a blast. As we pulled out of the parking garage, I hear Pepe from the back seat : "Be careful, duckies, the gate is going up".

This morning, Pepe announced "I don't want to go to school, I want to go to work, to take the train".

He's been talking nonstop about the ride since yesterday and so we'll surely do this again soon!
