Is the baby going to take my trains?

When my then three-year-old nephew learned that I was pregnant with Riley, he immediately asked, "is the baby going to take my trains?" We knew at the time the answer was yes, but didn't have the heart to tell the poor kid.

Sure enough, when the now four-year-old Rene came to visit today and showed Riley his trains, the baby grabbed for one. Like all other objects, it went straight into his mouth.

Rene tried to act non-plussed but was clearly horrified (he kept grabbing the train, wiping it off and placing it just outside Riley's reach). All to no avail of course; Riley continued to grab and lick.

Thanks for sharing, cousin Rene! At least Riley can't leave bite marks yet.
