ok, cuteness update

[peterfuhry]

Nackie can sing 'The wheels on the bus' but he can't quite say 'On the bus', so he says 'The wheel ah ba gus'.

N: Airplane!
P: Yeah, where's it going?
N: Airport!
P: Yeah!
N: Pilot!
P: Yeah, the pilot is flying the airplane.
N: Good job!

And now for Natalie, trains too. All the time! Often long before I notice them. It's a fixation. She's thrilled to go out and watch the garbage truck until it is out of site. She would go to Travel Town everyday if I'd take her. And we didn't introduce this fixation to her.

Anyway, is it because these things are big and loud and they move- or is there some deeper evolutionary force at work?! And if
