Christmas, Toy Trains, Cat's and Autism
OK as most of my readers know my 4 yr old has high functioning autism... And she can take things very literal at times...
Before Santa
After Santa
She got a few new Thomas trains for Christmas this year one being a remote controlled one & one named Gordon after her grandpa & one named Donald after her daddy. She got playing with them all at the same time on the track... Nothing could pull her away from them she was in HEAVEN!! The trains got hitting one another & it was bogging some of them out, I told her it would blow the engine and tear it up. She gets all wide eyed & I explain further what I meant so now she only puts one train on the track at a time...
Our cat Kadin however, well he wasn't so sure about the trains he looked like he was very scared of all the racket the trains made toppled by screams of joy & laughter.
Before the trains
After the trains
He got a little bit braver around them but only if nobody was around other than my 4 yr old playing with her trains, he got to the point of laying across the track if the trains was stopped so she couldn't play with them.... Then he thought OK I'll just plop down on the track while the train is in action... I'm in my bedroom my oldest daughter in hers, while my 4 yr old is playing with her trains. Kadin puts himself on the track & the Donald train runs into his butt, He continues to lay there not letting the train pass I hear the train bogging out then my 4 yr old screaming he's going to BLOW IT UP!!!! I come to see what all the noise is about to see Kadin across the track with a toy train stuck to his behind. I yell at him to get off the track.
He bolts up and the car is left on the track & the engine of the train is still bogging out at it is tangled in the long hair of Kadins butt he goes darting around the tree almost bringing it down trying to get the train off his behind I'm at this point laughing so hard trying to catch him to shut the train off (this isn't the remote on but one that stays on) as Nevada is screaming her head off. Finally I got the train off him & all was well again...
