Train Ride for Alex
Overall; we had a good time - we took our car to College Park, because they have free parking, and bought a temporary pass for Katina. Since I take the train on a regular I have my permanent card. We all got through the gates and took the elevator down to train level. It took about 5 minutes before the train got there. Alex stepped into the train and took a seat. His eyes were light up and he looked every where. Not really smiling but taking it ALL in. Leeanne thought nothing of it and just sat in her stroller trying to hold Alex’s hand, but Alex did not want to be disturbed while he rode the train.
Katina and I talked in the train, laughing like we do and Katina thought she saw someone from America’s Next Top Model on board. She didn’t engage an conversation with her, but thought of an elaborate scheme to do so - she forgot about it and we continued to talk and look at Alex enjoy the simple train ride.
We reached to Linberg Center and proceeded to Chilies, for dinner. Alex was not happy that we got off the train. He started to cry and carry on - luckily Katina was able to help him understand that we’re going to eat and then get back on the train. He quickly calmed down and we had fun at Chilies.
We got back on the train and he was way more comfortable with it this time. It was dark outside so there wasn’t much to look at, but he tried anyway. When it was time to get off the train he did so with no problems and even told the train “bye”. When we got to our car he wanted to go back on the train and we told him next week. Obviously; he didn’t like that answer so he carried on a bit - almost all the way home, but that’s expected. Overall; we had a good time.
