All aboard!

So just a funny, random little story about Hallie. She is very keen to the sound of passing trains, and of course we hear them all of the time at our house because there are tracks very near by. Every time she hears a train she raises her hand to the side above her head and with a "tooting" motion says, "Choo, choo" in the cutest, highest pitched little voice you have ever heard. Well, when she was just learning her sounds and begining to understand words, I was outside with her one day and pointed out a tree. Well, for her, the word train and tree must have sounded too much alike, because as soon as I said tree she held her hand out to the side above her head and said, "Choo, choo." My best guess is she understood that all of the noise of the trains she hears while in the house are coming from those objects (trees) I pointed out to her outside. So anyway, yesterday, Jordan and I took her downtown to see a real train in motion. She saw the train (didn't get to hear it blow its whistle however), acknowledged with her little "Choo, choo" that she understood the large moving object was a train, and still continues to see trees and say, "Choo, choo!" What can we say? She totally makes us laugh. Funny girl!
