toy train

When Jonah was born, we had Jonah "give" Tobey a present when he came to visit us in the hospital.  Of course the present was a toy train, and all Tobey cared about on his visit was the train.  I don't think he even noticed Jonah.  Tobey took the train home, but after a few days, the train went missing.  No big deal, we said.  Toys go missing at our house all the time, and they usually reappear in a few days.  But months had gone by, and Adam and I kept asking each other if we knew where the train went.  Well, I finally found out. When I took Jonah in to the doctors to get a vaccine, and I took Tobey with us, there was the train in one of the rooms with a stack of play things.  He must have left it there when we took Jonah to the peds for the first time.  I debated whether or not took take it, but I decided just to leave it there.  In fact, this is not the first time we have left a toy at the peds and then found it later.  Tobey left a light-up ball there about 2 years ago and then we found it on the subsequent visit.  Tobey did make a comment about how this was like his train but we didn't know where his was.  Ha!  I'll get a new one sometime and pretend it resurfaced.
